The team takes such a step when the batsman at the crease is struggling to score runs. The team thinks that the batsman should be sent to another batsman, who scored fast. One such incident was seen in America’s Major League cricket, but here the batsman who had scored a century. The team sent another batsman in place of the player who scored a century. What happened after this, made only the joke of the team.
