New Delhi. Bowling a no-ball on the cricket field is a crime and if a spinner bowls a no-ball it is considered the biggest crime. The Indian bowlers not bowling balls was also a major reason for the series defeat. In the 3-0 loss to New Zealand, the batsmen’s failure was the most talked about, which is why no one paid attention to such a major crime on the field.

On the first day of the Mumbai Test, Indian spinners took wickets but consistently failed to bowl balls, which made former India captain Sunil Gavaskar very angry. Washington Sundar bowled five no-balls in this innings while Ravindra Jadeja bowled three no-balls. No-balling with just four steps is a crime that Indian bowlers commit all the time. After this incident, Noball is in the headlines again.

There was always crime on the field

There was rotation at the Wankhede pitch, taking advantage of the help of the 22-yard strip and managing to restrict the visiting team to 235 runs, but in the meantime something happened that left the former captain and Sunil Gavaskar commentating, In this match I got nervous. Jadeja, who took five wickets in New Zealand’s innings, bowled three no-balls and Washington Sundar, who took four wickets, bowled five no-balls. Well, if we look at history, there used to be a big uproar when a spinner bowled a no-ball. Jadeja, who took 300 wickets in this series, scored a half-century while bowling without the ball.

Indian bowlers are not behind when it comes to not bowling balls.

If you look at the history of crimes committed on the cricket field, you will be surprised to see that there are two Indian bowlers in the top five. At number one is Ishant Sharma, who has bowled 314 no-balls, while Zaheer Khan is at number two, who has bowled 299 no-balls. Only Fidel Edwards (325) and Brett Lee (472) have bowled the most no-balls.

Kapil Dev’s answer is no

Kapil Dev was the best all-rounder of his time. He made his debut in 1978 and played his last match in 1994. During this time, India won the 1983 Cricket World Cup under the captaincy of Kapil. This Indian legend has never bowled a no-ball in his long career. Kapil took 434 wickets in 131 Tests and dismissed 253 in 225 ODIs. Gavaskar’s anger against the spinners can also be understood because he played with a bowler like Kapil who never bowled a no-ball.
