Following two “unusual no-balls,” India was given two consecutive free hits on the fifth and sixth deliveries of their batting team’s 21st over.

Every hitter in the world of cricket adores no-ball bonuses. Both of these typical types of no-balls—the one awarded when a bowler oversteps and the one in which the batter receives an above-the-waist full-toss—are no-balls. However, the Bangladesh cricket team delivered two “unusual” no-balls in the second One-Day International between India and Bangladesh on Wednesday when the bowler damaged the stumps while delivering the ball. India received two free hits after the identical occurrence occurred twice.

Mehidy Hasan, an all-rounder for Bangladesh, bowled the two no-balls in his over. He ultimately gave up back-to-back free hits. The incident occurred in India’s batting innings’ 21st over. On the fifth and sixth deliveries of the over, Hasan fell and damaged the stumps. After the first no-ball, Shreyas Iyer could only accept a single on the subsequent free-hit. He hit a four on the second free-hit that was given after Hasan bowled another no-ball on the sixth delivery. Mehidy had a few mistakes in the bowling department, but he more than made up for them with his bat, smashing an undefeated hundred to aid Bangladesh in amassing a total of 271 runs.

“All credit goes to God for giving me an opportunity to do this. Nothing else to say. Feels very good. Last few years, I have worked hard on the batting and focused on certain areas to improve. My coaches have given me a lot of information on improving my game. Riyad Bhai (Mahmudullah) kept telling me that we need to keep playing deep into the innings and the conversations were mostly about keeping small targets of partnerships. I was just trying to hit the good areas with the ball and put pressure on them,” he said after the match.

India struggled to get going in their pursuit of the 272 run target, but Shreyas Iyer’s 82 off 102 kept them going. Even though Axar Patel too made 56 runs off 56 balls, Rohit Sharma’s batted the Indians’ best innings of the day. He nearly helped the Indian team win the game with a 28-ball 51. The Hitman needed to hit a 6 on the game’s final ball to win, but he was unable to do so.
