Abhimanyu Mithun Bowls The Biggest No-Ball In Cricket
Abhimanyu Mithun overstepped only once in his two-over spell, but the considerable distance between his foot and the crease surprised everyone. The incident went viral on social media, with speculation and discussions about the unusual nature of Mithun’s no-ball.
The incident took place in the 5th over of the chase. Mithun took a wicket by dismissing Bhanuka Rajapaksa with his second delivery. However, the pacer missed the opportunity to claim another wicket, Charith Asalanka, in the following delivery due to a significant no-ball.
Mithun took another wicket by removing Sikandar Raza, who scored a quick 27 off 10 deliveries. Despite the earlier no-ball incident, Mithun concluded with impressive figures of 2/11 in his 2 overs. Notably, the Northern Warriors conceded 21 extras during the match.
