Jason Holder Bowls Bizarre No Ball: Watch
T20 cricket always brings in an element of surprise in the game. Toe-crushing deliveries, towering sixes and lightning-quick fielding, the shortest international format brings in every element of the game into play. The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders vs Dubai Capitals game saw one such bizarre moment which had cricket fans in splits. Caribbean stalwart Jason Holder bowled a bizarre no ball which is rarely seen in the game of cricket.
Jason Holder, the skipper of the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, bowled a total of 3.2 overs, conceded 18 runs and picked up 3 important wickets. During Dubai Capitals' innings, Holder steamed in to deliver a ball which slipped from his hands at the point of release. The ball flew over the batter's head and later landed where the first slip is. "TV Umpire to Director, can we check the height on this one for a No Ball?", captioned ILT20 while sharing the clip on their X (formerly known as Twitter) account.
