why?that is what I'm asking.why is ball dead if it goes in batsmen's pads

Why? Because it's a rule. As simple as that. What else can it be? Everything is by the rules in cricket. Isn't it? :dontknow:

quote me a ruling

1. Ball is dead (iv) whether played or not it becomes trapped between the bat and person of a batsman or between items of his clothing or equipment. (v) whether played or not it lodges in the clothing or equipment of a batsman or the clothing of an umpire.

Think of the situation when the ball got struck inside the pad. Batsmen would run as many as he wish. Fielders would be running after him like rugby players :hysterical:
