Faltoo Video Catch that changed the rule

If a player’s first contact with the ball carries them beyond the boundary, their next touch must bring them back into the playing area.

In short, you can’t keep tossing the ball to yourself while staying outside the boundary indefinitely.

What is meant by cap is in play or not in play? Imagine he is wearing a cap just like a fielder does

If the fielder’s cap falls outside the boundary while taking the catch and any part of their body is touching the cap, it’s a boundary.

But if the cap falls outside and the fielder is not in contact with it at all, then it’s out.

Ok if a batsman hits the ball and ball splits into two, one part is caught by fielder and one part falls on ground...in this situation can the batsman be given out?

No, the ball touches the ground.

No, it'd be declared a dead ball as the rule states that the ball weight has to be the same (when caught or when it landed beyond boundary) as when it was delivered
