#1 India vs Pakistan, Champions Trophy Final at The Oval, London 2017
Occasion:- Final
Venue:- Kennington Oval, London
The Indian bowler's insatiable love for no-balls was on display again when the defending champions took on their arch-rivals Pakistan in the Final of the Champions Trophy in 2017- this time the culprit being Jasprit Bumrah.
India was playing in their fourth major title Final in six years, and after a thumping 124-run win over Pakistan in the league stage, entered the summit clash as prime contenders.
But their first mistake - the error that opened the floodgates - was Bumrah's overstepping in the fourth over to give a reprieve to rookie opener Fakhar Zaman (114), who had edged the ball to MS Dhoni when he was at three. Zaman added a further 111 to his tally to give Pakistan a platform on which their middle order built to swell the lead to 338-4 in 50 overs.
The Indian bowlers added two more no-balls to their tally, and such errors coupled with an insipid batting display, that saw the 'Men in Blue' get bowled out for 158; the trophy had been handed over.
