New Angle Of Bumrah's Controversial Ball Reveals Umpiring Howler

Jasprit Bumrah became only the fifth player overall to take 100 wickets in the T20I format. The star pacer achieved this milestone on the second delivery of the 11th over as he ended up dismissing Dewald Brevis. Suryakumar Yadav grabbed a clean catch at cover which flew from Brevis' bat, and as a result, Bumrah ended up taking 100 wickets.

The legality of this delivery is now under the scanner. The umpires did run checks to adjudge a front-foot no-ball, but the third umpire later ended up ruling it as a 'fair delivery'. It was deemed that the pacer had some part of his foot behind the line, but a new angle has now emerged which raises questions around this delivery.

Jasprit Bumrah ended the match with two wickets from three overs and conceded 17 runs. Bumrah bowled with an economy of 5.70.
