Two ‘rare no-ball’ incidents led to free hits for India in the second one-day international against Bangladesh

Every batsman in the history of cricket has a soft spot in their heart for the bonuses known as no-balls. Both the no-ball that occurs when the bowler oversteps the line and the no-ball that occurs when the batter is presented with a full-toss that is higher than their waist are examples of common types of no-balls. On the other hand, the Bangladesh cricket team delivered two “unusual” no-balls during the second one-day international that was played between India and Bangladesh on Wednesday. This occurred after the bowler accidentally disturbed the stumps while delivering the ball.

Due to the fact that the same incident occurred not once but twice, India was awarded two free hits.

The all-rounder from Bangladesh known as Mehidy Hasan was responsible for the over in which the two no-balls were bowled. In the end, he was responsible for handing out consecutive free hits.

The occurrence took occurred during India’s batting in the 21st over of the game. During the fifth and sixth deliveries of the over, Hasan suffered a fall that caused him to damage the stumps.

After the initial no-ball, Shreyas Iyer was only able to take a single on the free-hit opportunity that was presented to him. After Hasan produced another no-ball on the sixth delivery, the batter was given a free-hit, and he promptly scored a four on the opportunity.

Mehidy may have committed a few bowling gaffes, but he more than made up for them with the bat, recording an undefeated hundred that contributed to Bangladesh’s overall score of 271 runs on the board.

“For allowing me to pursue this, I have nothing but praise and thanks to offer to God. There is nothing else to add. Feels extremely good. Over the course of the past few years, I have dedicated a lot of effort to improving my batting and have concentrated on many aspects of the game.

My coaches have provided me with a wealth of knowledge that I can use to improve my performance. Riyad Bhai (Mahmudullah) kept stressing to me that we ought to keep playing late into the innings, and the majority of our chats centred on maintaining relationships with modest goals.

Simply simply, I was attempting to put pressure on the good areas by hitting the ball into those places “he remarked after the game was over.

Shreyas Iyer’s innings of 82 runs off 102 balls kept India in the hunt as they attempted to reach the target score of 272 runs. India’s run chase got off to a shaky start.

Even though Axar Patel made 56 runs off of 56 balls, the best knock of the day for India came from the bat of the injured Rohit Sharma.

He shot a 51 off of 28 balls, which almost single-handedly won the match for the Indian team. The Hitman needed to knock a six on the last ball of the match in order to win the competition, but he was unable to connect with the ball.
