"Grow Up": Former India Batter Slams Mitchell Starc Over "I'm Not Deepti" Remark

India all-rounder Deepti Sharma recently ran England's Charlie Dean out at the non-striker's during a women's ODI at Lord's in September.

Dean's dismissal sparked a debate on social media, with fans having a divided opinion regarding the mode of dismissal. While many consider that it is against the spirit of play, the Marylebone Cricket Club -- the custodians of the laws of cricket - had earlier this year moved the mode of dismissal from the 'unfair play' section of their laws to the 'run out' section.

Incidentally, during the 3rd T20I between Australia and England, Jos Buttler had an interesting conversation with Mitchell Starc after the pacer warned him for leaving the non-striker's end early.

In the fifth over of the match, Starc was bowling to Dawid Malan, but showed great awareness by spotting Buttler leaving his crease, while he was about to bowl the delivery.

Mitchell Starc Offers Alternative To Non-Striker's Run-Out After 'I Am Not Deepti' Incident Involving Jos Buttler

Despite numerous attempts by the International Cricket Council (ICC), the 'non-striker run-out' remains a questionable form of dismissal in the cricketing spectrum. When India's Deepti Sharma dismissed England's Charlie Dean in the manner, her action was portrayed in the bad light. Australia pacer Mitchell Starc, in a match against England, gave Jos Buttler a warning over not leaving his crease early while saying "I am not Deepti". Starc remains someone who is not a fan of the dismissal but also wants batters to remain inside the crease. He has now offered an alternative to this dismissal.

"Where's Virat Kohli?": ICC's New Video Featuring Indian Players Disappoints Fans

The ‘poster boy of Indian cricket' Virat Kohli is a name that doesn't need any introduction in the global cricketing spectrum. Kohli has been a big servant of the game for years and has given Indian cricket new dimensions both as a batter and a captain. He might not be the Indian skipper at present but he still remains one of the strongest pillars of the Indian team. However, as the International Cricket Council (ICC) shared a video featuring a few stalwarts of the Indian team, Kohli was nowhere to be seen.
