RCB’s Harshal Patel Disqualified from Bowling in 20th Over after Two No-balls in a Row

The ongoing match between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) witnessed an incident that left everyone surprised. In the 20th over, Harshal Patel, the star bowler of RCB, bowled two no-balls, leading to his disqualification from bowling for the rest of the over.

It all started with the second delivery of the final over of the innings. Harshal Patel was bowling to Moeen Ali, and he delivered a high full toss above the waist, which Moeen Ali managed to get an inside edge to take a single towards square leg. However, the umpire called it a no-ball, and Maxwell, RCB’s captain, took a review, challenging the umpire’s decision. Maxwell was not happy with the call, but the third umpire confirmed that the ball was indeed above the waist, and the umpire’s decision was upheld.
