An exciting match of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 between India and Pakistan (IND vs PAK) was played on June 9. Let us tell you that even though the Indian team won this low scoring match by 6 runs, but at one time in the 18th over of the match, something happened to fast bowler Mohammed Siraj, which former Indian player Sunil Gavaskar was seen criticizing during live commentary.

It is worth noting that while chasing the target of 120 runs given by India, at one point Pakistan lost momentum, however looking at the team’s batting it seemed that Pakistan would achieve this target easily.

Pakistan needed 30 runs to win in the last 3 overs, and Mohammad Siraj bowled the 18th over of the Pakistani innings. Imad Wasim, who was on strike, took a single on the first ball of this over and at this time Pakistan needed 29 runs in 17 balls to win.

Iftikhar Ahmed was at the crease and had played only two balls before facing Siraj. After this, Siraj bowled the second ball of this over on which no runs were scored, but it was a front foot no ball. However, the Pakistani team scored some runs on the free hit received on this ball and Siraj conceded only 5 runs on the next 4 balls. But after bowling this ball, Gavaskar has lashed out at Siraj.

But during this time, former Indian opener and well-known cricket commentator Sunil Gavaskar, who was doing live commentary, was seen criticizing Mohammad Siraj. Gavaskar said – Never forget, you may be a professional cricketer, but you cannot throw a no-ball. It is in your control. A wide ball is not in your control, but a no-ball is. This is not acceptable at this level, it is unprofessional.
