In the T20 era, it is not a new thing for the bowlers to score runs in their overs in a rapid manner, even 6 sixes have been hit in an over. Even in One Day International, this has happened 21 times when a bowler gave 100 or more runs in his spell. But there is such a record that everyone knowing about it will wonder how did this happen? This shameful record is recorded in the name of Pakistani bowler Abdur Rehman.
8 runs without bowling any balls
You may also be wondering how this happened? Because even if we assume that the bowler bowls the first ball no or wide, or even hits a four, the bowler must have bowled a legal ball. But this did not happen. Pakistan’s spin bowler Abdur Rehman gave away 8 runs without bowling the ball.
But how did this happen?
This happened in the 2014 Asia Cup. A match was being played between Pakistan and Bangladesh in Mirpur. Bangladesh cricket team was batting first. Abdur Rahman came to bowl the 11th over for Pakistan. He bowled the first ball, which slipped from his hand. The ball went above the waist, for which the umpire gave a no ball.
The second ball was also a full toss above the waist, on which the batsman scored one run. The umpire also declared it a no ball. Let us tell you that in a match a bowler can bowl only 2 wickets, but sometimes the umpire also gives a third chance to the spinner. In that match also the umpire gave Rahman another chance.
Abdur Rahman got the third chance, but he made the same mistake and bowled a sick ball. This time batsman Anamul Haq hit a four on this ball which came above the waist. The umpire not only declared this ball a no ball but also decided to remove Rahman from bowling. So such Pakistani bowler gave 8 runs without bowling any ball.
Abdur Rahman’s international career
Between 2007 and 2014, Abdur Rehman played 22 Tests, 31 ODIs and 8 T20 International matches for the Pakistan cricket team. He has 99 wickets and 395 runs in Tests, 30 wickets and 142 runs in ODIs. He took 11 wickets in T20 International.
