Sunil Gavaskar Brands Jasprit Bumrah's Erratic Bowling 'Not Acceptable', Demands Accountability
Gavaskar said Bumrah’s three no-balls were unacceptable as the pacer went wicketless and Mumbai Indians still won by six wickets.
- On Monday, Jasprit Bumrah struggled during the Mumbai Indians' match against the Lucknow Super Giants, conceding 45 runs and going wicketless in a six-wicket victory.
- Bumrah bowled three no-balls during the fixture, bringing his season tally to eight; in ten appearances this year, he has secured only three wickets.
- Former cricketer Sunil Gavaskar criticized the performance while commentating for Star Sports, stating: "Do not tell me that Bumrah has bowled a no-ball. You are a professional cricketer; it is not acceptable."
- Tension peaked in the 14th over when Bumrah dismissed Himmat Singh, only for a no-ball signal to negate the wicket; the batsman survived to eventually score forty runs, propelling Lucknow's total to 228.
- Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton provided the batting heroics required to chase down the mammoth target with ten balls remaining, securing victory despite the bowling chaos.
