Australian batter Matthew Renshaw scores 7 runs in one legal delivery without hitting 4, 6 himself
Here’s how Renshaw achieved rare feat to reach his half century
During the third day of the 4-day warm-up match between Prime Minister's XI and Pakistan, Australian batsman Matthew Renshaw achieved a remarkable half-century in an unusual manner.
While batting at 47, Renshaw played a shot through the covers. The Pakistani fielder successfully prevented the ball from crossing the boundary, allowing the batsmen to complete three runs as the ball was retrieved. However, a fielding error occurred when the throw towards the batting end was overly forceful, sending the ball past the boundary line.
The unexpected turn of events resulted in Renshaw scoring seven runs on that particular ball without hitting a six or four himself and reaching his half-century.
Cricket Australia shared a video capturing this rare feat on social media with the caption, "You don't see this every day! Matthew Renshaw brings up his half-century ... with a seven!" The incident added a unique and memorable moment to the ongoing warm-up match.

UP: Muslim community panchayat in Mathura bans DJs, fireworks at weddings, curbs extravagance
Mathura (UP) (PTI): A Muslim community panchayat in Mathura district has taken a unique decision to curb extravagance and unnecessary rituals during weddings, imposing a fine of Rs 11,000 and social boycott on families found violating the norms, community leaders said on Monday.
The decision was taken unanimously at a panchayat organised by the Eidgah Committee in Kosi Kalan town on Friday. The meeting was held at a sarai in the Nikasa locality.
Committee president Moinuddin Gadsania and vice-president Haji Sadiq said the panchayat resolved that no Muslim family would organise a nikah ceremony at hotels, guest houses or marriage halls. The nikah will be solemnised only in mosques, while the walima (post-marriage feast) may be held at hotels or other venues.
They said the use of DJs during weddings has been completely banned. If the rule is violated, no imam or qazi in the town will perform the nikah ceremony.
The practice of presenting gifts or cash to the groom as part of the 'salami' ritual has also been prohibited. Other forms of ostentation, including fireworks and wasteful customs, have similarly been barred.
The ban on DJs will apply even if a wedding procession travels to another town, the panchayat clarified. Members said loud music and dancing at weddings often lead to disputes, disturbing social harmony and unity.
The panchayat further decided that violators of the rules would face a fine of Rs 11,000 along with social boycott. The committee said it would also try to implement similar decisions in other villages and communities.
Community elders said the objective of the decision was to check rising wedding expenses, curb social evils, prevent disputes during marriage functions and reduce the financial burden on families, especially the younger generation.
A large number of prominent community members, including the committee secretary, Mehraraj Qureshi, were present at the panchayat.
