Trent Boult Yorker: In the 31st match of IPL 2024, Trent Boult bowled such a yorker that the stump itself broke. Bolt caused a loss of about Rs 10 lakh with one of his yorkers. The game was stopped for some time after the stump broke. The 31st match of the tournament was played between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens. In this match, Rajasthan Royals' Trent Boult had bowled Sunil Narine with a dangerous yorker. But will they have to compensate for the stump broken by Boult's yorker? Let us know.
In the first innings, on the third ball of the 18th over, Trent Boult bowled Sunil Narine on a yorker and sent him to the pavilion. The stump was broken by this ball of Bolt, due to which the game stopped for some time because it took time to bring a new stump and install it. This IPL, a new type of stumps is being used, in which different lights are lit on different occasions. For example, when a four or six is hit, different lights flash on the stump, when there is a wide or no ball, different types of lights flash on the stump.
Price of one stump around Rs 10 lakh
Three stumps are placed on one side and if media reports are to be believed, the cost of one stump is around Rs 10 lakh. In such a situation, stumps worth Rs 30 lakh each are used on both sides. This is the reason that now players are not allowed to remove their stumps after winning the match like before. Earlier, when wooden stumps were used, players used to take out the stump after winning the match.
Will Trent Boult have to pay compensation of Rs 10 lakh?
So let us tell you that there is no rule of any kind. If a bowler breaks a stump with his bowling, he does not have to make any compensation. It has been seen on many occasions that bowlers often break the stumps with their fast balls, but they do not have to make any kind of compensation.
