With ten points, DC sits at the top of the IPL 2025 points table. So Let’s take a look at Mitchell Starc Back Foot No Ball In 1st Super Over of IPL 2025.
What is a Back Foot No Ball?
As the Rajasthan Royals failed to achieve the 189 target against Delhi Capitals, viewers witnessed the first super over of the Indian Premier League (IPL)2025. Mitchell Starc, the chosen bowler for the super over against RR, caught eyeballs due to a rare no-ball call.
While delivering the fourth ball, Mitchell Starc touched his foot to the return crease, which was called out for a back-foot no-ball. English commentator and former New Zealand pacer Simon Doull was unhappy with the umpire’s decision to give a no-ball.
While criticizing, the former cricketer said on air that you’re allowed to touch the line. According to Simon Doull, a no-ball should be considered only when a bowler’s foot cuts the line and some part of his foot is on the other side. However, later, the former cricketer realized his mistake and apologized to the third umpire.
A back-foot no-ball is given when a bowler’s back foot touches the return crease. The bowler’s back foot must be within the return crease. A back-foot no-ball is taken into consideration to stop bowlers from creating extreme angles.
So What is a Front-Foot No-Ball?
Previously, one must be aware of a front-foot no-ball. When a bowler’s front foot lands in front of the popping crease, the delivery is considered illegal. Some part of a bowler’s front foot should be behind the popping crease to be considered a legal delivery. Otherwise, a no-ball is signaled by the umpire, and along with one run, a free hit is awarded to the batting side. Only a run-out or field obstruction is the possible way to take a wicket in a free hit.
