India and Sri Lanka are involved in the second T20I encounter of the ongoing series at the MCA Stadium in Pune. Batting first, the visitors scored 206 runs. It was a bad day for the Indian pacers, especially Arshdeep Singh. In two overs that he bowled, he gave away 37 runs. Here, we take a look at how Twitter reacted as Arshdeep Singh bowls 5 no-balls in just 2 overs against Sri Lanka.
Arshdeep Singh has a bad day with no-balls
While Arshdeep Singh bowled three consecutive no-balls in his first over, in the death, he bowled two more. These five no-balls completely shifted the game towards Sri Lanka. They are now the favourites to win the game.
In the last few months, Arshdeep has been a brilliant pacer for Team India. The squad was looking for a left-handed pacer for a long time. Arshdeep arrived and he did not take a long time to leave an impact. He even represented India at the T20 World Cup in Australia. For his brilliant performances, he even earned a nomination from the ICC for the Emerging Player Award. However, against Sri Lanka, Arshdeep had a bad day. That said, he is still young and everything is a part of the learning curve. Stepping over the line is a part of the basics and Arshdeep must work on it to improve his game. Anyways, he has already shown a lot of variations and India will surely back him.
Twitter reacts to the pacer’s performance
Meanwhile, Twitter was unhappy with the way Arshdeep performed, especially with the no-balls. Arshdeep is a highly-rated cricketer and there are a lot of expectations from him. Along with Jasprit Bumrah, he is seen as a consistent part of the T20 setup. Therefore, there were a lot of reactions after this performance. Here is a look at a few of them:
Arshdeep Singh has bowled his 5th No Ball from 10 balls.

It’s ridiculous @arshdeepsinghh you forgot your basics ? Minimum commonsense that a bowler takes bowling guard again and rectifies after bowling one or two no balls… this isn’t a practice match right ? Please correct me if I am wrong. @IndianCricNews #IndiavsSrilanka

Arshdeep went for 19 with no balls in his first over and went for eighteen with no balls in the 19th over. What's up with Indian bowlers and 19.
