Sunil Gavaskar over Mohammad Siraj: India seal a thrilling 6-run win over Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2024. The Indian bowlers performed brilliantly and defended well for 119 runs. Pakistan scored only 113 runs for 7 wickets in the allotted 20 overs. Mohammad Rizwan was the highest scorer for Pakistan with 31 runs. At one point the Pakistan team was heading towards victory but powerful fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah turned the tables.
At the same time, former India batsman Sunil Gavaskar looked a little upset after being bowled a no-ball by fast bowler Mohammad Siraj. He said this is unprofessional and unacceptable. In fact, Siraj bowled a no-ball when Pakistan needed 29 off 17 balls. Captain Rohit Sharma handed over the ball to Siraj in the 18th over. He gave away a run on the first ball and a no-ball on the second ball. A total of 9 runs were lost in Siraj’s over, including a no-ball and a wide.
Gavaskar T20 World Cup is in the commentary panel. “It is unforgivable. Professional cricketers or whoever you are, you cannot bowl a no-ball. It is in your control. The wide ball is not always in your control, but the no-ball is in your control,” he said. This is unprofessional and unacceptable at this level.” However, Siraj’s no-ball did not cost the Indian team too much. Iftikhar Aham managed to score just two runs off a free hit.
Although Siraj did not get a wicket, his four-over spell was economical. He spent only 19 runs. He was the only bowler who did not take a wicket despite bowling four overs. Ravindra Jadeja was the other bowler but bowled only 2 overs for 10 runs. Bumrah was the hero of India’s victory. He took three important wickets for 14 runs in four overs and became the player of the match.
