Riyan Parag grabbed himself during the 2nd T20I between India and Bangladesh as in between the Men in Blue's dominant victory, the youngster left the cricket fraternity surprised with a new bowling action. Parag tried a sling bowling action, but his plan did not work as the umpire punished him with a rare no-ball.
Parag was one of seven bowlers used by India in the dominant 86-run victory. In a rare sight, all seven Men in Blue bowlers took a wicket, marking the first instance of the same happening in any international game across formats by an Indian team.

Why Was The Ball Given No-Ball?
Parag's actions were in direct contradictions of Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC)'s laws of the game as his back-foot was outside the tramline. In fact, the Indian star's foot landed outside the pitch leaving no doubt that it was not a legal delivery.
