It seems like Jasprit Bumrah is slowly becoming a master of bowling no-balls and he is also finding new ways to bowl no-balls as well. Today, while bowling, the Gujarat pacer knocked the bails in the delivery stride and Twitterati, instantly, went berserk to mock Bumrah’s ability to bowl no-balls.

Despite Sri Lanka chasing a target as low as 113, Indian pacers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah – kept the Lankan batsmen on their toes by dismissing two wickets for 19. But before that Bumrah had one wicket denied after replays suggested that his foot was on the line, giving Upul Tharanga a lease of life. However, if that was not enough, Bumrah found a completely new way to bowl a no-ball when his feet hit the stumps during the delivery stride.

On the first ball of the 10th over, Bumrah’s ball caught Tharanga in the crease and drew a soft outside edge, but he turned out to be a laughing stock when his back leg hit the bails and umpire called it a no-ball in no time. While that didn’t affect the eventual match result in any way, it woke up Twitterati from their slumber as they had fun at the pacer’s expense.

Here are the funny tweets from the match:



Pioneer in bowling no-balls! :P

Remember the name!
