This act evoked reactions from all quarters. While a few of them hailed her for her honesty, the others said that Raut shouldn't have walked away in this fashion and that too is she was adjudged as not out by the umpires. Raut made her way to the pavilion on a score of 36 runs. The Indian batter was lured to play a defensive shot which apparently was brushed the edge of the bat. With no DRS, the home team was forced to rely on the decision of the umpires. But Punam walked away to the pavilion. Here's the video of the incident and the tweets below.
