No Indian fan would have forgotten the no ball Bumrah bowled in the final of the Champions Trophy earlier this year against Pakistan. That mistake cost India the title as Fakhar Zaman who was the batsman on that occasion went on to score a match winning hundred and guided Pakistan to a score of 339 which proved to be a match winning total in the end.
Bumrah who had bowled just one no ball since repeated that mistake again today. He got Upul Tharanga out caught behind the wickets when Sri Lanka’s score was just 19, but when the umpires checked it, the Gujarat fast bowler had overstepped the line which meant Tharanga got a life and he carried on. It was such a crunch moment in the game as India were looking for early wickets defending a tiny total of 112 and Tharanga’s wicket there would have been huge.
