These days, the five-match Border Gavaskar Trophy is being played between Australia and India in Australia, while on the other hand, the Big Bash League (BBL) has also started. The new season of BBL has started from 15th December. In just a few days, many wonderful moments have been seen in this T-20 league of Australia, while a similar scene was seen in the match being played between Melbourne Renegades and Perth Scorchers. After the shot played by the batsman, the ball hit the roof of the stadium. After this the player became not out. The ball was declared dead.

The ball hit the roof of the stadium

This incident happened in the 10th over of Perth Scorchers' innings. Kane Richardson was bowling the 10th over for Melbourne Renegades. Cooper Connolly was batting on 12 runs. Kane bowled the fifth ball of the over between the stumps and Connolly hit it in the air. The ball rose too high and hit the roof of the stadium. When the ball came down, Kane tried to catch it but he could not catch it.

Let us tell you that the rule is that if the ball hits the roof and the player catches it with one hand, then the batsman is given out in this situation. However, Richardson missed the catch and his finger started bleeding. The umpire declared the ball a dead ball and the batsman got a lease of life. Whereas earlier a six was given if the ball hit the roof.

The only stadium with a roof in Australia

Roofed stadiums are not seen in cricket matches. However, it is a unique stadium in itself in Australia. This stadium is also known as Docklands Stadium or Marvel Stadium. Such cases have been reported earlier also during BBL matches. However, earlier the umpire used to give 6 runs if the ball hit the roof, whereas now the ball has been declared dead.
