Varun questions no ball for wicketkeeper gloves in front of stumps..?!

In the match between mumbai Indians and Sunrisers hyderabad, the player who was called out was called back because the wicketkeeper's glove was in front of the stumps and that ball was also declared a no-ball. The next ball also became a free hit. kolkata Knight Riders' varun chakravarthy has questioned this. Is this fair? He has asked. He has pointed out that injustice is being done to the bowlers through this. Let's see what happened. While mumbai Indians player Ryan Rickelton was batting, he made a catch on Cummins, who was standing in the cover direction, on a ball bowled by leg-spinner Jeesan Ansari. When he was declared out and left the field, he was stopped near the boundary line. At that time, the third umpire checked whether the wicketkeeper's glove was in front of the stumps.
At that time, the glove of Sunrisers hyderabad wicketkeeper Heinrich Klaasen was a few inches in front of the stumps. After this, the ball was declared a no-ball. Ryan Rickelton was also declared not out. He came back to bat. Since the ball was a no-ball, the next ball was also a free hit.  Kolkata Knight Riders spinner varun chakravarthy has raised some questions about this. In his post, he asked, "If the wicketkeeper's gloves are in front of the stumps, it should be declared dead ball and the wicketkeeper should be warned. That way he will not repeat the mistake. But no ball and free hit should not be given. What did the bowler do wrong in this? Why is he being punished? We should think about this out loud. What do you all think about this?" varun has raised a question. What varun has said is fair. Because, for a mistake made by the wicketkeeper, a bowler is given a no-ball and a free hit. Although it is a punishment given to his team, the no ball will be added to the bowler's account personally. That is what varun chakravarthy has pointed out.
