There has been a heated debate in the cricketing fraternity after India's Deepti Sharma ran England's Charlie Dean out at the non-striker's end during a women's ODI recently.
However, ICC's rule book suggests that a bowler can do the same if the non-striker is out of the crease. During the third T20I between India and South Africa, pacer Deepak Chahar, too, had the chance to dismiss South Africa's Tristan Stubbs at the non-striker's end, but he decided against it.
The incident happened in the 16th over when Chahar was about to bowl the first ball but stopped just short. He warned Stubbs at the non-striker's end for backing up too far, and the youngster was left with a wry smile on his face.
