By India Today Web Desk: Legendary India batter Sunil Gavaskar has lashed out on the Indian bowling assault for bowling seven no-balls towards Sri Lanka, saying they will’t be doing this as professionals. Sri Lanka beat India by 16 runs in Pune to stage the three-match T20I collection 1-1.

Speaking to Star Sports after the sport, Gavaskar lashed out on the Indian bowling assault, saying they will’t be bowling so many no balls in a match. Arshdeep Singh bowled 5 no-balls within the innings, whereas Umran Malik and Shivam Mavi bowled a no-ball every.

“As a professional, you can’t be doing this. We often hear that today’s players say, things aren’t in our control. Not bowling no ball is in your control. What happens after you deliver the ball, what the batsman does, is another thing. Not bowling a no ball is definitely in your control,” stated Gavaskar.

Arshdeep’s 5 no-balls in a T20 inning are probably the most by an Indian, breaking his earlier report of 4 towards South Africa, and the joint-highest by a bowler from a full member nation, with West Indies’ Keemo Paul.

Other full-time member international locations which have conceded as many no-balls in an innings are Sri Lanka, Ireland, and Afghanistan. Ghana holds the report for probably the most no-balls bowled in an inning, with ten unlawful deliveries towards Uganda.

India T20I captain Hardik Pandya refused accountable Arshdeep Singh for his or her defeat however stated that bowling a no-ball is a criminal offense.

“In the past as well he has bowled no-balls. It is not about blaming but no ball is a crime,” Pandya stated on the post-match presentation.

With India successful the primary match on the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai by a slender margin of two runs, and Sri Lanka clinching the second T20I on the MCA Stadium in Pune, all eyes will probably be on the third and remaining T20I of the collection to be performed in Rajkot on January 7.
