In the past few days, crossing lines came at a cost.
To begin with, Indian cricketer Jasprit Bumrah’s ill-famed no-ball at the India-Pakistan match stemmed from a crossed line. Pakistan’s Fakhar Zaman went on to score 114 runs and India lost the match by 180 runs.
Secondly, a Jaipur Traffic Police campaign advocating road safety piggybacked on Bumrah’s ‘crossed line’ in order to drive home the point that one must be careful to NOT cross the line. After all, it can prove costly, like it did for Bumrah.
