U-19 World Cup Shocker: Afghanistan Scores 9 Runs Off One Ball Against India

• During the India vs Afghanistan U-19 World Cup semifinal, Afghanistan scored an unprecedented nine runs off a single delivery.
• The incident occurred in the 17th over, bowled by Dipesh Devendran, when batsman Faisal Shinozada missed a leg-side shot.
• Wicketkeeper Abhigyan Kundu failed to collect the ball, which then struck a helmet placed on the ground by the fielding side.
• According to MCC Law 28.3.2, this resulted in five penalty runs for hitting the helmet, plus four runs for the boundary, totaling nine runs.
• The rare event became a major talking point in the ICC Under-19 World Cup match at Harare Sports Club.
