Recently, Atharva Taide left the pitch with a retired out.
After making an unbeaten 55 from 42 balls in game 64 of the IPL 2023 between PBKS and DC, Atharva Taide left the field and announced his retirement, which allowed other heavy hitters like Jitesh Sharma, Shahrukh Khan, and Sam Curran to smash the ball out of the park as Punjab needed 86 runs in the final five overs to win. After Ravichandran Ashwin, Atharva Taide is the only other batsman to have retired from the IPL.
Retired hurt vs retired out rule in cricket and IPL difference and meaningย
Retired Out: A player is deemed retired out in accordance with ICC regulations if they leave the crease without the umpire’s consent.
Cricket Rules:
25.4.1 – A batter may leave the field at any time throughout the course of the game while the ball is out of play, but before leaving the field, the batter must tell the umpire of the reason for leaving.
25.4.2 – A batter shall be deemed to have retired hurt if they are doing so due to an injury, illness, or any other unforeseen reasons. The hitter will be able to restart the innings if he or she wants to play on in the later stages of the game. The batter will be counted in the stats as retired hurt-not out.
25.4.3 – The batter is considered retired out if he or she retires for any cause not covered by the aforementioned laws. If this occurs, the batter will be counted as “out” in the stats and won’t be permitted to continue the innings at a later stage of the game without the opposition team captain’s permission.
Being retired out in t-20s is not new.
The primary distinction between being retired wounded and being retired out is that a batsman who sustains an injury will be permitted to resume batting in the latter stages of the game, whereas being retired out requires the opposition team’s captain’s permission.
Retired out occurs infrequently, such as this in a T20 game, when the batter believes the lower-order batsman can hit even better than him in the current situation. Retired hurt has occurred numerous times owing to injuries sustained on the field.
Notably at the international level, Marvan Atapattu retired himself out in the 2001 match between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in Colombo after scoring 201 runs in the innings.
