3.The Cap Rule
This rule is mainly associated with the clothes or the player’s cap, which he wears on the ground. If the ball touches the cap deliberately by a player before it reaches the hand, a direct catch cannot rule a batsman out. Hence the catcher must firmly see that the ball lands in his hand directly while catching.
It is not illegal fielding if the ball in play makes contact with a piece of clothing, equipment, or any other object which has accidentally fallen from the fielder’s person. Then it will be considered as OUT.
4.Handling the ball
There have been many instances where the ball goes towards the wicket after being edged from the batsman’s bat. In this case, the batsman is not allowed to touch the ball with his hand. He may use his bat or leg to divert the track of the ball.
5.Object-hitting rule
Generally, when the ball hits the roof of a stadium or the spider-cam (a camera that tries to cover every angle of the match), or any other object, then that delivery becomes a dead-ball and the bowler has to bowl it again.
