IND vs Eng Dead Ball Rule: The fifth Test match between England and India began on Thursday (31 July) in London’s ‘The Oval’. On the first day of the match, Barish did a lot of ‘Khela’. Due to the weather, only 64 overs were played on the first day and the Indian team scored 204/6. Overall, the first day was around England’s fast bowlers, green pitch and Lapharwah shots of Indian batsmen.
‘The Oval’ stadium is present in South London, where it happened several times during the batting of the Indian team that a herd of pigeons came close to Pich. At a time when the Indian batsman Sai Sudarshan was taking a strike and the England bowlers were throwing the ball, then the ball left the pigeon before the pigeon. At the same time, when KL Rahul was batting, this kind of situation was still seen.
If the ball gets a pigeon or a bird, what is the niyam
Now the question is, what will happen if the ball suddenly hit a bird or an animal during a cricket match? The direct answer is that such a ball will declare the umpire ‘dead ball’ on the ground.
That is, if a ball in the oval hit a pigeon, it would have been a dead ball. Secondly, understand this in a more easy way that even if the pigeon would come while batting in front of Sai Sudarshan, and even if he had become bold, this ball would have been declared dead ball. MCC (Merileborn Cricket Club), an organization that makes a cricket regulars, under the dead ball rules Website But explained. MCC is the guardian of the rules of cricket.

What are the MCC regulars about dead ball
By the way, when the dead ball can be done, MCC has also explained it in its website very wonderfully under Article 20. But if an animal or bird comes during the game, then it has been explained under the Rule 20.4.2.12. In this, the whole ritual is on the vivake of the umpire.
If the umpire feels that a person has come to the field of play and a team has been damaged, then it will be dead ball. But if both umpires believe that the ball goes to the boundary anyway, then the boundary will be given.

By the way, the arrival of a bird in the cricket field is not new. During the county matches in England, it has also happened that during the game, peacock has come on the field. It is common to see a pigeon. When there are matches on the land of Australia, the seagle birds are seen on the ground, many times a flock of pigeons. At the same time, it is common for Hadeda Ibis during a cricket match in South Africa. At the same time, crows are seen many times during the match in India.
