    "editor1": "<p>Indian opener Smriti Mandhana said that her team respects the decision of Punam Raut walking out despite the umpire Phillip Gillespie shaking his head on day two of the one-off Test against Australia in Metricon Stadium on Friday. On a day when Smriti made her first Test century, the cricketing world was abuzz with varied opinions on Punams decision to walk off.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The incident took place in the 81st over of India&#39;s innings when Punam, batting on 36 off 165 balls, decided to walk off after believing to have nicked left-arm Sophie Molineux behind to wicketkeeper Alyssa Healy. Punam stretched forward to block the delivery but the ball spun away and went behind to Alyssa. The Australians didn&#39;t appeal whole-heartedly but Punam had walked away by then.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;First we reacted, like, &#39;Oh, why did she do that?&#39; But, then, of course, it&#39;s something that we all respect a lot. I think she has earned a lot of respect from all the team-mates that she actually walked out. And I don&#39;t know how many people would actually do that in cricket at the moment - men&#39;s or women&#39;s,&quot; said Smriti to reporters after the day&#39;s play was brought to a close due to rain.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">No DRS, Umpire said not-out but Punam Raut knows she edged this and she walked back to the dressing room.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/JAfSd76ORL\">pic.twitter.com\/JAfSd76ORL<\/a><\/p>\r\n&mdash; Johns. (@CricCrazyJohns) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CricCrazyJohns\/status\/1443822314802450437?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 1, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote>\r\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Nowadays people walk out because there is DRS. But when there is no DRS and to walk out, I don&#39;t know. So, definitely she has earned a lot of respect from us, but, yeah, the first reaction was, &#39;Oh, was it actually an edge or why did she walk?&#39; That was out first reaction,&quot; added Smriti.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after:always\"><span style=\"display:none\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>When the Punam walk-off question was put to Australian all-rounder Ellyse Perry, she said, &quot;Yeah, there seem to be a really faint edge. That&#39;s very much at her discretion whether or not she wanted to walk. And she did so, I suppose so from our point of view it&#39;s just acknowledging that. Besides that, there wasn&#39;t too much conversation about it.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>When batter Beth Mooney was asked by the commentators whether she would have walked, she instantly replied, &quot;Nup, no chance.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Also Read: <\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/t20-cricket-world-cup\">T20 World Cup 2021<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Punam was playing her first game of the tour to Australia. She didn&#39;t feature in the ODI series at Mackay and isn&#39;t a part of the squad of the T20I series in Gold Coast coming after the pink-ball Test.<\/p>\r\n",
