They say bowling no balls in cricket is a sin and Arshdeep Singh committed 5 of those in just 2 overs in the 2nd T20I vs Sri Lanka on Thursday.

He may have played just 22 T20Is but has already bowled 14 no balls so far, which is the most by a bowler in the shortest format of the game.

3 of those no balls came on consecutive deliveries in his very-first over which set the stage nicely for the Lankans. In fact, Arshdeep became the first Indian ever to bowl hat-trick of no balls in the same over.

In the 19th over, Arshdeep found himself at the receiving end once again at a time when India had bounced back in the game. Two more no balls saw him give away 18 runs as Sri Lanka posted a mammoth 206/6.
