Watch: Pakistan wicketkeeper caught cheating against India? Viral video sparks debate

Women's Asia Cup Rising Stars is being held in Bangkok. Eight teams are participating in this tournament, including India A. In Group A, along with India A, the women's teams of Pakistan A, UAE, and Nepal are also present. On February 15, a match was played between India A and Pakistan A, in which the team captained by Radha Yadav secured a big win by 8 wickets. However, a video of this match became a topic of discussion on social media, and based on it, Pakistan's wicketkeeper is being accused of cheating.

Controversies are often seen in matches between India and Pakistan. The rivalry has become particularly intense due to tensions at their border. In such a scenario, there is also pressure on the women's teams to win, and perhaps this is why players are not hesitating to cheat to secure a victory. A similar attempt was made by Pakistan's wicketkeeper, Yusra Amir, but she was unsuccessful, and the third umpire ruled in favor of India A.

Actually, on Sunday, India A was chasing a target of 94 against Pakistan A. During this, India A lost Humaira Kazi’s wicket on the very first ball, but her partner, Vrinda Dinesh, looked to be in tremendous form. At one point, Vrinda failed to play a sweep shot properly, and the ball started moving towards the stumps. Because of this, the Indian batter tried to stop the ball with the bat, but at the same time, the Pakistani wicketkeeper also attempted to grab it. During this, the ball went from the wicketkeeper’s gloves onto the stumps, and he appealed. After reviewing the replay, the third umpire declared Vrinda not out.
