Abhimanyu Mithun’s astounding no-ball in Abu Dhabi T10 league draws scary comparison with Mohammad Amir’s infamous no-ball in 2010

Mithun, a Karnataka stalwart, who had once shared the dressing room with legends like Tendulkar and Dravid, found himself in the eye of a social media storm. His no-ball, a surreal echo of the infamous spot-fixing scandal, overshadowed his 2-wicket spell and Chennai's eventual win.

In a recent showdown between Chennai Braves and Northern Warriors at Zayed Cricket Stadium in the Abu Dhabi T10 League, Abhimanyu Mithun found himself involved in an unforeseen controversy.

Despite Chennai Braves clinching a hard-earned victory in the match, it was a moment during the fifth over of the second innings that took center stage, inviting comparisons to Mohammad Amir's infamous no-ball incident in 2010.

How it all unfolded

Under the leadership of Angelo Mathews, the Chennai Braves encountered a challenging situation. The momentum took a sharp turn due to Sikander Raza's aggressive 10-ball inning, accumulating 27 runs, wreaking havoc even with Mithun's notable performance of 2-0 and11-2.

Nevertheless, the true spectacle unfolded during the fifth over when seeking to build on his initial success, Mithun delivered an impeccable yorker, resulting in the dismissal of Charith Asalanka. However, the celebration was abruptly halted when the umpire indicated a no-ball.

Upon review, a startling revelation emerged where it was seen that Mithun had overstepped by an astounding half a meter. This prompted parallels to Mohammad Amir's infamous no-ball in 2010. After the game, everyone was talking about Mithun's no-ball. No one from the cricket authorities said anything official about it, but it blew up on social media.

Everyone was comparing it to that famous no-ball by Amir years ago. The recent controversy has unexpectedly brought Abhimanyu Mithun into the public eye, overshadowing his otherwise noteworthy career in domestic cricket.

Even though everyone's talking about the no-ball, it's important to remember that Mithun is a big deal in Indian cricket. He plays for Karnataka and has even shared the dressing room with legends like Tendulkar, Dravid, and Dhoni! This no-ball just put him in the spotlight in a way he probably didn't expect. As the cricketing world awaits official statements and reactions, Mithun finds himself grappling with an unforeseen twist in his professional journey.
