"No Warnings Were Given": England Cricketer's Big Allegation Post Deepti Sharma Run-Out Of Charlotte Dean
On Saturday, the third and final ODI between India women and England women came to an controversial end after all-rounder Deepti Sharma ran out Charlie Dean at the non-striker end as the batter was backing up too far ahead when the ball was about to be released. This helped India defeat England by 16 runs in the third and final ODI to clinch the series 3-0. On Monday, after reaching India, Deepti revealed that her side gave warnings to Dean, but when they saw her still venturing out of her crease, they decided to run her out.
"It was our plan because she was leaving the crease repeatedly. We have even warned her. So, whatever we did was according to the rules and regulations," Deepti Sharma said.
"We had told the umpires too. But she was still doing it, so we had no other option," she added.
However, England's designated captain Heather Knight, who missed the series, said that Team India did not give any warnings and they should not be "lying".
"The game is over, Charlie was dismissed legitimately. India were deserved winners of the match and the series. But no warnings were given. They don't need to be given, so it hasn't made the dismissal any less legitimate," she said in a tweet.

In another tweet, she said: "But if they're comfortable with the decision to affect the run out, India shouldn't feel the need to justify it by lying about warnings."
