Watch: Faf du Plessis, opposition players laugh as UAE pacer bowls massive no-ball in Abu Dhabi T10 League match, David Warner trolls too

United Arab Emirates (UAE) bowler Hazrat Bilal came into the limelight for wrong reasons during the Abu Dhabi T10 League match between Morrisville Samp Army and New York Strikers. Bilal bowled a huge no ball as he overstepped by a long margin. As soon as the replay was shown on the big screen at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi, Morrisville Samp Army skipper Faf du Plessis couldn't stop smiling. Even opposition players Evin Lewis, Sunil Narine and Reece Topley had a laught in their dugout. 

Meanwhile, the UAE bowler was livid with himself for bowling a big no-ball. On the next ball, Donovan Ferreira rubbed salts on his wounds with a maximum over deep extra cover. Earlier, in the over, he got the wicket of Zeeshan Abid. 

The video has gone viral on social media. Even former Australian opener David Warner reacted to it as he wrote, "was this a free hit??".

Bilal bowled just one over, conceded nine runs and took a wicket. Kieron Pollard's cameo could not revive New York Strikers' run chase as they managed to post 99/7. They lost the match by 36 runs. Amir Hamza bagged three wickets for 22 runs in his quota of two overs. Karim Janat bagged two wickets as well.
