Abhimanyu Mithun bowled a huge no-ball in the ongoing Abu Dhabi T10 tournament and his act caught a lot of attention on the Internet. The bizarre act from the right-arm medium pacer reignited memories of Mohammed Amir's huge no-ball in England in 2010.

Abu Dhabi: The ongoing Abu Dhabi T10 2023 league witnessed a weird incident on Saturday as former India pacer Abhimanyu Mithun bowled a huge no-ball which shocked the spectators. Mithun was playing for Northern Warriors and he picked a couple of wickets in his spell. However, his effective spell included a bizarre no-ball which compelled netizens to compare him with Mohammed Amir.

The incident occurred during the fifth over of Chennai Braves' successful chase of 107 and Mithun's overstepping reignited memories of Pakistan's left-arm pacer Mohammed Amir's no-ball in a Test match against England in 2010. The Pakistan pacer was banned from the game as the International Cricket Council(ICC) found him guilty of spot-fixing.
