In the second T20 match between India and Bangladesh in Delhi, a unique ball was seen, which was declared a no ball by the umpires. In fact, Bangladesh team, which was chasing the mountain-like target of 222 runs, had lost 4 wickets for 46 runs. After this, Mahmudullah and Mehdi Hasan Miraj 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 great Sri Lankan bowler Lasith Malinga but the umpires gave it a no ball. Now this remains a topic of discussion. After all, what did Ryan do that the umpires took this decision and what does the no ball rule say? Let us know.

This incident happened in the 11th over

Captain Suryakumar Yadav wanted to win the match as soon as possible. Therefore, with the intention of giving the fifth blow to Bangladesh, he handed the ball to Ryan in the 11th over. But Mahmudullah counter-attacked and hit a six on the first ball. After hitting the 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 side line of the crease and the umpire gave no ball. This is a very rare case in cricket, when the bowler goes outside the side line. Usually, no ball is given when the bowler goes outside the front crease.

What are the rules in cricket?

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

Ryan didn't know the rules?

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