DRS Rule Questioned After Shubman Gill Denied Run

DRS Rule Questioned After Shubman Gill Denied Run

Imagine a cricket umpire calls a player 'out'.

While the player was running to get a point, the umpire made the call.

The player asked for a replay (called DRS), and the replay showed the umpire was wrong – the player was not out.

However, because the umpire had already called 'out', the rules say the run the player was trying to get doesn't count.

Some people think this isn't fair, especially in close games.

They are saying that if the replay shows the player was actually safe, they should get the run they were running for.

They believe the rules need to be updated to make it fairer for the players.
