ICC World Test Championship Final: WATCH- Pat Cummins Kicks The Ball In Frustration After His Another No-Ball Denies Him Shardul Thakur's Wicket

India and Australia are squaring off with each other in the final of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) at the Oval, England. The game was dominated by the Pat Cummins-led side on the first two days as they batted and bowled staggering well. 

But after being 151/5 at the Stumps on Day 2, India staged a great comeback in the first session of Day 3 as Ajinkya Rahane (89) and Shardul Thakur showed great grit and resilience and batted beautifully to keep their side in the hunt.

Pat Cummins trapped Shardul Thakur in lbw at the stroke of the lunch and was given out by the umpire. But to his disappointment, it was a no-ball as he overstepped the line and the batter survived. He didn’t express his frustration right after that. But it was visible on the last ball before lunch.

As Shardul Thakur defended the last ball, Pat Cummins kicked the ball in frustration. He was extremely disappointed with himself as this was not the first time he picked a wicket on no ball in this match. A similar thing happened last day as he trapped Ajinkya Rahane in no ball but he bowled a no ball.
