After clinching the series opener in Wankhede, Men in Blue went down to Sri Lanka in the second T20I by 16 runs in Pune on Thursday (January 5). With series locked at 1-1, both the teams will meet in Rajkot on January 7 (Saturday). As far as India's bowling is concerned, it was marred by no-ball spree. While India's death overs specialist Arshdeep Singh conceded five no-balls, Shivam Mavi and Umran Malik gave one no-ball apiece. Arshdeep, who had to sit out of the first T20I, conceded three consecutive no-balls in his second over, which was also the 19th over of Sri Lanka's innings, giving away 18 runs. In a spell of two overs he gave away a total of 37 runs. Arshdeep's no-ball blunder drew a lot of flak including cricket pundits. Meanwhile, former India skipper Gautam Gambhir tore into Arshdeep's no-ball blunder in the post match discussion on Star Sports.&nbsp;
