Can you believe an international pacer bowled 3 no balls in a row?
Arshdeep Singh, a left-arm bowler for Team India, struggled to get off to a good start during the second Twenty20 match of the ongoing series against Sri Lanka on January 5 in Pune. In the second over of the game, Arshdeep overstepped three times in a row, becoming the first Indian bowler to throw a hat-trick of no-balls in T20Is. The umpire declared the seamer’s final ball of the over to be a no-ball.

Arshdeep is now the only bowler to ball a hat-trick of no-balls in T20 international cricket. In the second over of the inning, Arshdeep bowled three. Earlier, Arshdeep also had bowled three no-balls in a single T20I inning as well and in this match, this is the highest number of no balls the Indian team bowled in a T20 International match.
Ghana holds the record for the most no-balls bowled in an inning, with ten deliveries against Uganda.

Additionally, the hooter sounded throughout the next two deliveries. To make matters worse, Kusal Mendis, the opening batsman for Sri Lanka, took advantage of the free hits by smashing four and six, respectively. Later on, Arshdeep was removed from the attack by captain Hardik Pandya after giving up 19 runs in the nine-ball over.

Check out some reactions
Notably, Arshdeep was absent from the first T20I match between the two countries. Due to illness, the youngster was not available for selection for the fixture. He got off to a bad start in the second T20I, but he’ll be trying to make up for it in the remaining maches.

In T20Is, Arshdeep Singh has bowled the most no-balls.
Arshdeep Singh broke yet another unfavourable record by becoming the bowler with the most no-balls in T20 Internationals with his hat-trick of no-balls. He has now recorded 12 no-balls in the game’s shortest format. Hasan Ali, a fast bowler from Pakistan, who has 11 no-balls to his credit, was overtaken by him. Third on the list and a West Indies player, Keemo Paul, has overstepped 11 times in T20 Internationals.
Recently, the young pacer has won over many admirers with his white-ball cricket bowling prowess. So, the start of a strong season will guarantee him a position in the Men in Blue’s squad for the vital 50-over World Cup. He is anticipated to be an essential in Team India’s limited-overs sides this year.
In 21 T20Is, he has taken 33 wickets for a respectable 8.17 economy rate. He has also participated in three ODIs but has yet to take his first wicket in that match type.
