Captain Hardik Pandya also looked very upset due to the poor bowling of Arshdeep Singh. This is not the first time that Arshdeep Singh has bowled a no-ball. In the same month, Arshdeep Singh bowled a total of five no-balls in two overs in the T20 match against Sri Lanka in Pune. After that match, Hardik had said that throwing no-balls is a crime. Arshdeep Singh should pay special attention to his bowling in practice because throwing no-balls in big matches can increase India’s trouble. Bowling coach Paras Mhambre will also have to work a lot on Arshdeep’s bowling.
