Deepti received support from captain Harmanpreet Kaur in the immediate aftermath of the incident during a post-match interview, saying, "Whatever we have done, I don't think it was any crime. It is part of the game and is an ICC rule, and I think we just need to back our player." The MCC World Cricket Committee made clear in its statement released on Thursday that the batter is at fault in such a scenario and that "there is no precedent to require a bowler to give a warning to a batter, confirming they are completely within their right to dismiss the batter on their first occasion they break the Law."
