Legendary India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has slammed left-arm fast-bowler Arshdeep Singh for bowling five no-balls in his two-over spell during the hosts’ 16-run defeat to Sri Lanka in the second T20I at Pune.


Arshdeep, who returned to Indian colours after missing the opening T20I in Mumbai due to an illness, had a torrid time with the ball in Pune, conceding 37 runs off just two overs and even gave away no-balls three consecutive times in his first over.


“As a professional, you can’t be doing this. We often hear that today’s players say, things aren’t in our control. Not bowling no-ball is in your control. What happens after you deliver the ball, what the batsman does, is another thing. Not bowling a no-ball is definitely in your control,” said Gavaskar when he was on the commentary duty.
