Nurul Hasan's positioning horror costs Bangladesh A five penalty runs against New Zealand A; watch video
Cricket scorecards usually contain four columns under the extras section. Wide, No ball, Byes and leg byes. The unofficial ODI match between New Zealand A and Bangladesh A on Saturday (May 10) had a section called pen (penalty).
New Zealand's opening batter Rhys Mariu faced Bangladesh's Ebadot Hossain's (36 International appearances) right-arm pace in the fifth over of the chase.
The batter didn't offer any shot. The ball hit the helmet after it crossed the batter. Nurul Hasan, the captain and the wicket-keeper of Bangladesh A, was standing at an unusually wide position. None of his body parts were in line with the batting pitch.
New Zealand A were awarded five penalty runs based on the MCC's Fielder law 28.3.2
28.3 Protective helmets belonging to the fielding side
28.3.1 Protective helmets, when not in use by fielders, may not be placed on the ground, above the surface except behind the wicket-keeper and in line with both sets of stumps.
28.3.2 If the ball while in play strikes the protective helmet, placed as described in 28.3.1, the ball shall immediately become dead and, unless 28.3.3 applies:
- the umpire shall signal No ball or Wide to the scorers, if applicable
- the umpire shall award 5 Penalty runs to the batting side
- any runs completed by the batters before the ball strikes the protective helmet shall be scored, together with the run in progress if the batters had already crossed at the instant of the ball striking the protective helmet.
28.3.3 If the ball while in play strikes a helmet, placed as described in 28.3.1 and the circumstances of Law 23.3 (Leg byes not to be awarded), 25.7 (Restriction on the striker's runner) or Law 34 (Hit the ball twice) apply, the umpire shall
- disallow all runs to the batting side
- return any not out batter to his/her original end
- signal No ball or Wide ball to the scorers if applicable
- award any 5-run Penalty that is applicable except for Penalty runs under 28.3.2.

14-Year-Old IPL Phenom Vaibhav Suryavanshi Scores 190, India's Next Big Cricket Star Goes Viral Before U-19 Series
Vaibhav Suryavanshi's meteoric rise in Indian cricket continues to capture headlines, and rightly so. The 14-year-old left-handed opener, who made waves in IPL 2025 with his fearless stroke play, has now delivered another jaw-dropping performance—scoring a blistering 190 runs off just 90 balls in a practice match at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru. This staggering innings comes just days before the India U-19 team departs for their England tour, further solidifying Suryavanshi's reputation as one of the most explosive young talents in world cricket. Vaibhav Suryavanshi smashed 190 off just 90 balls in a practice match during the India U-19 team's camp at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru. [Gaurav Gupta] — Sports Culture (@SportsCulture24) June 10, 2025 As part of India's Under-19 squad, Vaibhav will open the innings alongside captain Ayush Mhatre during the five-match ODI series in England starting June 24. His recent knock isn't just a number; it's a statement. With video clips of his 190-run carnage going viral, fans and experts are hailing him as the "next big thing in Indian cricket." His ability to dominate seasoned bowlers at such a young age is not just rare—it's generational. A Star Is Born: From Record-Breaker to Household Name Suryavanshi's journey to stardom began when he smashed a 58-ball century against Australia U-19 last year at just 13 years and 188 days—an Indian record. That knock earned him instant recognition and put him on the radar of IPL scouts. At the IPL 2024 mega auction, Rajasthan Royals outbid Delhi Capitals to sign him for ₹1.10 crore, making him the youngest crorepati in IPL history. Despite being benched for the early part of the season, his debut was unforgettable. He launched a six off his first IPL ball, bowled by Shardul Thakur, and never looked back. His standout moment came against Gujarat Titans where he scored a 35-ball century, the second-fastest ton in IPL history, and the fastest ever by a teenager. IPL 2025 Stats Tell the Story In just 7 IPL matches, Suryavanshi racked up 252 runs at an astonishing strike rate of 206.55, including 24 sixes—the most by any batter under the age of 20 in a single IPL season. His fearless approach and impeccable shot selection turned him into a fan favorite and a nightmare for opposition bowlers. Grounded Off the Field, Ruthless On It Despite the fame and frenzy, Suryavanshi remains remarkably grounded. After his IPL hundred, he revealed in an interview with RR head coach Rahul Dravid that he kept his phone switched off for four days to avoid distractions and stayed close to family. 'I received over 500 missed calls… but I don't like that. I prefer to be around my family and close friends,' he said, showcasing a maturity that belies his age. What's Next: England Awaits All eyes will now be on Suryavanshi as he gears up for India's U-19 tour of England, where he's expected to play a pivotal role. With the confidence of a 190-run masterclass behind him, and the experience of an IPL campaign in his pocket, the youngster looks more than ready to take on the challenges overseas.

Not BCCI, This Cricket Board Set To Give Grand Farewell To Virat Kohli And Rohit Sharma
Quick Read Summary is AI generated, newsroom reviewed Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will not be a part of India's Test series against England, having retired. The players announced their retirement from Test cricket during the IPL 2025 season. Cricket Australia are reportedly planning a farewell for Kohli and Rohit during India's ODI tour Down Under. The notable absentees from India's squad, as they take on England in the upcoming five-match Test series, will be stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. The duo announced their retirement from Test cricket recently, during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. While the two were not given any farewell Tests in India itself, Cricket Australia (CA) is potentially planning to give them a grand send-off when India tour Australia for three ODIs and five T20Is later in 2025, given that it could be the last time both players play in Australia. Australia is bracing itself for a long summer of cricket, with the limited-overs India series set to be followed by the five-Test Ashes against England. Cricket Australia CEO Todd Greenberg has hinted at special preparations to maximise interest for cricket during that period, and one of them could be a special farewell for Kohli and Rohit. "For the first time in nearly two decades, Australian cricket will be playing international matches in every single capital city and territory across the entire country. There's a lot of work going into bespoke marketing plans for every game in every city," Greenberg told reporters. The popularity of cricket in Australia soared with India touring the country for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25, which saw record numbers turn up for events such as the Boxing Day Test. "I think we saw real momentum last year on the back of the BGT series, some record-breaking ticket sales. And I anticipate that we'll see a number of sellouts across the summer, really starting in August and going through until March. This might be a summer like we've never seen before, just in terms of the amount of content," Greenberg said. "If you think about the quality of the players coming, particularly from India, this might be the last time we get to see Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma play in our country. If that's the case - who knows, it might not be - but if it is, we want to make sure we give them a great send-off and acknowledge the incredible contribution they've made to international cricket," Greenberg added. Kohli and Rohit have announced their retirement from both the longest and shortest formats of the game, leaving them active in only ODI cricket, with the 2027 World Cup surely a final aim. The limited-overs series between India and Australia, scheduled to be held in October and November 2025, could well be the last time the two veterans play Down Under. Rohit is 38 years old, while Kohli will be 37 during the series.

You can never achieve perfection but that's the only thing that will keep you running: Varun
Ever since his return to the national team in October 2024, Varun Chakaravarthy has been on a purple patch. The 33-year-old has quickly become India's strike bowler in T20Is and could be a key cog in the Men in Blue's title-defence campaign in next year's T20 World Cup to be played in India and Sri Lanka. Earlier this year, the mystery spinner also demonstrated his prowess in the ODI format as well and played a key part in India's Champions Trophy triumph. After another productive IPL season where he took 17 wickets, Varun is back in the TNPL, trying out new variations to stay ahead of the batter. In a chat with The Hindu, Varun spoke about his form, the three-year struggle to get back his place in the national team, and more. Excerpts: It has been a tremendous last year for you. How do you see this phase of your career, and do you feel you are at the peak of your form? Nothing but gratitude for the people who stood by me and helped me. So I'd like to thank all of them. In another six or seven months, I might reach my peak. Still, there's more work to be done, which is what I'm trying to work on in this TNPL so that I can try some new things. If I get one more (variation), which I am trying, I will be very happy. You had another successful season in the IPL, taking the most wickets for KKR. It was also the first time you came into an IPL after playing a lot of international cricket. How was it in terms of your game and also your workload? Regarding the workload, not much, but just the mental aspect of it. I played the full domestic season, and I was at home for probably just 10 days over the last seven months. Other than that, it's fine and I can't complain at all. I love what's coming my way and I have to take it with both hands. It wasn't tough in the IPL, I feel IPL can sometimes be tougher than international cricket. However, it gets tougher when you play domestic cricket, as sometimes the fatigue sets in. I train three to four times a week nowadays, which helps keep my body fit. For the last seven months, I have been playing continuous cricket, and thankfully, I have no injuries. I'm used to the schedule now, and I feel that by the time the next T20 World Cup comes, I will be even fitter. So, I am ready for the challenges. Can you discuss the effort you've put into your fitness? You started late and weren't the fittest or most agile cricketer, but you seem to have gotten better. Yeah, it was a holistic approach. First thing, I had to cut down on my unwanted food-eating habits. So nutrition was the most important thing, and then hitting the gym three or four times a week. I have not trained with a single person so far, because every team has had a different trainer. I had to find my way through, which was challenging, but I was able to do it. I know what works for me and what doesn't, so I communicate with them and take it forward. I am also running constantly, so if I get a two or three-day break between matches, I make sure to run on one of those days. It's more about making my lifestyle as a cricketer, rather than just doing it as practice time. How was it being part of the Champions Trophy-winning squad, and you played your part in the triumph as well? Yeah, it's the biggest blessing, I think, that I've got for whatever I had to go through in the last three years when I was not recognised. Once I was dropped from the team, I felt that I had put in too much work, but I didn't have a clear direction. I have to give credit where it's due - definitely to GG sir (Gautam Gambhir) and the captains, who backed me. I performed well in the T20 series, and then I was introduced to the ODI setup. Rohit Sharma also played a role in getting me into the team. It just felt like life came full circle at that same venue. I just wish I could turn up like that for the country again and again and keep making everyone proud. You were seen as a largely T20 bowler, so how did you find the transition to ODI cricket? I have always done well in the 50-over format for TN. In the three seasons I've played in the Vijay Hazare, I've always been among the top two highest wicket takers in the country, so it has always gone well for me. So, one-day cricket was never a doubt for me. I always knew that I could do it. I know that once the ball softens and becomes rougher, I can get more grip and turn, and if the batters miss it, I can take wickets. In T20, you don't get time to set up a batter, but in ODI, I get that. I can bowl five incoming deliveries, and one away, or four outgoing deliveries, and one in. I can't do that in T20, because I will get predictable. You are largely self-taught in the sense that you didn't go through the rigours of age-group cricket and more systemic coaching. How did it help or affect your ability to make a comeback? Yes, because I started everything by myself, even now, the thinking part and the direction part are where I have to be involved; everything I do is on my own. When I needed help, I did fall back on A.C. Prathiban and, obviously, Abhishek Nayar, who has been my mentor and helps me with the mental aspect of it. But other than this, the key decisions I take. If I have to develop variations or not, I take all those things into consideration. I put it in front of my coach, AC (Prathiban), and he gets to see if it's working or not, so that's how our partnership has been. My mind is always working around the clock to improve. Even here in TNPL, I've come to try certain variations. What is the key to the success of being a mystery spinner, and how to stay ahead of the batter? I think it's mainly about the sequencing of the deliveries. I can bowl three away going and one incoming, or one straight, two incomings, one away going. It's about how I'm mixing up, how I'm sequencing the ball. The skill is there, but how you use it is the main thing, because there are many people with the skill. You must be highly accurate in all those deliveries. I know that I have to be perfect. However, the fact is that perfection is an illusion (maya). You can never achieve perfection, but that's the only thing that will keep you running; you will never be satisfied, so it is a double-edged sword. That's how it works, too. Even though I know I won't be perfect at all, I keep chasing it. From your breakthrough in 2018, you made the national team in three years. However, once dropped, it took another three years to get back your place. Which was tougher? Yeah, my comeback was a lot tougher because I had tasted the forbidden fruit once, so I wanted to taste it again. Once I was dropped from the team, I knew the way, but there were more obstacles this time. The first time I came through, it was through word of mouth. However, the second time, I had to cross and convince many people, breaking many perceptions about me. Even the training regime, I used to get up by 5:30 a.m., go for practice, not knowing when I would get the call. When you say I got the call after three years, but I didn't think I would get that call after three years. So I just kept on doing my thing. Since 2023, you have been performing well in the IPL and for TN whenever you have played. Did it affect that you didn't get a callback? Yes, that's what made me feel that I wasn't being considered at all. That's what I thought, because I was performing well in the IPL and domestic cricket as well. But God's grace, God's plan... (I got back). You have now found a second wind in your career. How much of it is developing new skills, and how much of it is just mental adjustments or refinements? When you first come onto the scene, a perception is created about you, and people start getting used to it. Then you have to break that perception. You can only break that perception when you develop other specific skills. I feel it's the toughest, but that's when you'll have a longer run. The second time, it is like breaking your own identity and becoming a new person, but it is much more enduring. You must have the courage to unlearn many things.
