The first Test of the two-match Test series between India and Sri Lanka is being played at the IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali. The second day of the match saw a lot of no-balls from the Indian bowlers on the field. Vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah also bowled a no-ball. Once he even bowled Sri Lankan batsman Pathum Nisanka. But it turned out to be a no-ball and Nisanka got life. India declared their innings at 574 for eight. In reply, Sri Lanka lost their four wickets for 104 runs at the end of the day’s play.
Actually, Bumrah was bowling in the 32nd over of the Sri Lankan innings. His third ball hit the stumps and the players of the Indian team started celebrating. But then the sound of sirens was heard on the field. The on-field umpire could not see the ball while the third umpire gave it a no-ball and sounded the siren. After this Bumrah and the players of Team India looked very disappointed. Head coach Rahul Dravid’s reaction after this ball was worth watching as he too was stunned after seeing the no-ball.
A video is going viral on social media, in which the reaction of head coach Rahul Dravid on the no-ball is visible. Seeing the no-ball in the video, Dravid’s face looks down. On the second day of the match, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami bowled one no-ball each while Jayant Yadav bowled two and Ravindra Jadeja three no-balls. Nisanka, who got life from Bumrah, was unbeaten on 26 runs till the stumps.
