In the second T20 match between India and Bangladesh in Delhi, a unique ball was seen, which the umpires declared as a no-ball. Actually, the Bangladesh team, chasing a mountainous target of 222 runs, lost 4 wickets for 46 runs. After this, Mahmudullah and Mehdi Hasan Miraz together took control of the innings. After this, captain Suryakumar Yadav called Riyan Parag to bowl in search of a wicket and then a unique ball was seen. He bowled the ball with the action of Sri Lanka's great bowler Lasith Malinga but the umpires declared it a no-ball. Now this remains a topic of discussion. After all, what did Riyan do that the umpires took this decision and what does the rule of no ball say? Let us know.

This incident happened in the 11th over.

Captain Suryakumar Yadav wanted to win the match as soon as possible. Therefore, he handed the ball to Riyan in the 11th over with the intention of giving Bangladesh the 5th blow. But Mahmudullah counter-attacked and hit a six on the first ball. After conceding a six, Riyan Parag tried to do something different. In this attempt, he bowled the fourth ball of the over wide of the crease. During this, his foot went outside the sideline of the crease and the umpire gave a no-ball. This is a very rare case in cricket when the bowler goes outside the sideline. Usually, a no-ball is given when the bowler goes outside the front crease.

What are the rules in cricket?

In cricket, the rules of England's famous Marylebone Cricket Club apply, which is also known as MCC Law. According to MCC's Law 21.5, some part of the bowler's front foot must remain on the line. At the same time, the back foot should remain inside the sideline of the crease. Touching the return crease is also not allowed. If this does not happen then the umpire can give a no ball. While bowling, Riyan Parag not only crossed the sideline but also went out of the pitch. Therefore, his ball was given a no-ball.

Ryan didn't know the rules?

Everyone was surprised to see Riyan Parag's unique ball. When the umpires declared it a no-ball, the commentators revealed that he was also seen practicing to throw this ball. During the live match, footage of Riyan's practice session was also shown, in which he was trying to bowl the same ball. Perhaps he was not aware of this no-ball rule, that is why he wanted to bowl such a ball in the match.
