India was defeated by 16 runs in the second T20 against Sri Lanka after a fierce struggle. Fast bowler Arshdeep's five no-balls also played an important role in India's defeat. Arshdeep became the first Indian bowler to take three consecutive no-balls and gave away a total of 37 runs in two overs. Apart from this, Shanaka was given a lifeline due to his no-ball, which ultimately cost India dearly. Indian captain Hardik Pandya expressed his displeasure about Arshdeep's performance and said that throwing a no-ball is a crime and such common mistakes should not be made at the international level. He needs to work on the basics.
Arshdeep has bowled the most 14 no balls in international T20. Also, he equaled Hamish Rutherford's infamous record of most no-balls in a single match in T20 Internationals. He got the wicket of Shanaka on the fourth ball of the 19th over on low-faults. His catch was caught by Surya Abad, but as it was a no-ball, Shanaka got a lifeline. At this time he was on the score of 30 runs in 14 balls. After this sacrifice, he scored 26 runs in 8 balls.
Hardik Pandya said, we were hit by powerplay in batting and bowling. We made common mistakes that should not be made at this level. By improving the basics we can overcome these errors. Never look bad, but such mistakes should not be made regarding the basics. He has bowled no-balls in the past as well. As a captain, a batsman scoring a run off a bowler's bowling is acceptable, but a no-ball is not acceptable. I don't blame him, but he should practice and be careful not to make such simple basics mistakes at this level. I believe that throwing a no-ball is a crime. India bowled a total of seven no balls in the second T20.
