Before the semifinals, will Sanju Samson face a ban?
In the Super 8 match between India and West Indies, Sanju Samson played an innings that will be remembered for a long time. While chasing a big target of 196 runs, India lost quick wickets, and it seemed as if their T20 World Cup journey was about to end. But then Sanju Samson took charge and played a शानदार innings of 97 runs off just 50 balls. He not only won the match for India but also proved that Sanju Samson is not finished.
As soon as he hit the winning boundary against West Indies, Sanju became very emotional. He first threw his helmet into the air and then raised both his hands towards the sky to thank God.
However, this celebration might create trouble for him. The ICC’s Code of Conduct is very strict regarding players’ behavior. According to the rules, throwing a helmet or bat on the ground falls under the category of inappropriate conduct. In such cases, a player can face a fine, demerit points, or even a ban.
The objective of the ICC Code of Conduct is not only to enforce discipline but also to ensure the safety of players, umpires, and others present on the ground. Throwing a helmet or bat could unintentionally injure someone. That is why patience is given high priority in a game like cricket.
Now, how the ICC views Sanju’s celebration will be seen in time. For now, the team needs to focus on the semifinal against England on March 5.
