Gavaskar blasts Bumrah over no-ball flaws

India's one of the most threatening bowlers, Jasprit Bumrah, endured a night to forget during Mumbai Indians' match against Lucknow Super Giants on Monday at Wankhede Stadium. In fact, this IPL season has been unusually challenging for him. His outing against Lucknow Super Giants while representing Mumbai Indians only highlighted the struggles he has been facing. Bumrah finished his spell without claiming a wicket, leaking 45 runs in his four overs.
Things became more perplexing when Bumrah bowled three no-balls in the match. Meanwhile, these flaws didn't settle with former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar, who launched a blistering attack on Bumrah for overstepping.
“This is not acceptable; you are a professional cricketer, wide. I can understand, but bowling no-ball, it’s clearly not acceptable," Gavaskar said on air.
Despite Bumrah's rare failure, MI went on to clinch a six-wicket win over LSG, with Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton slamming astonishing knocks of 84 and 83, respectively. Both openers forged a crucial 143-run stand to fire MI to victory in the must-win showdown.
Currently, MI are sitting in ninth place in the points table with three wins in 10 games. They will next take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Sunday (May 10). Earlier, LSG, after being asked to bat, had posted 228/5 in 20 overs, with Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran slamming 44 and 63, respectively.
