Shoaib Malik's No-Ball Controversy: Twitter Erupts

In the Bangladesh Premier League match between Fortune and Khulna Tiger, Shoaib Malik bowled three No-Balls in four balls, which made many people raise their eyebrows because he is not a pace bowler. He is just an off-spinner, and to bowl three No-Balls in one over for a spinner is something that does not happen even in the domestic leagues or even in gully cricket.

However, many fans tweeted that it happened due to his recent wedding to the Pakistani Actress Sana Javed after his divorce from Indian tennis legend Sania Mirza. Many fans also said that Shoaib Malik might be in some betting scenario, so he bowled three No-Balls in an over.

Malik conceded 18 runs in his first over, which is one of the reasons why his team lost the match by eight wickets. He has been playing in the Bangladesh Premier League since 2015, and in his first season, he was in the Comilla Victorians, who won the BPL title in that season. After that, in season 4 of BPL, he went to Chittagong Vikings. In 2017, he was drafted back to Comilla Victorians to play two seasons there, and in the present season, which is season 7th of BPL, he is with Rajshahi Royals.

Shoaib Malik is one of the most experienced batters in the world, playing 528 domestic T20 league, scoring 13022 runs with a 36.37 average and taking 178 wickets, which makes him one of the most valuable cricketers of the T20 league of all time.

Sania Mirza’s family officially told about the separation of Shoaib Malik and Sania right the day before when Shoaib officially announced his second marriage to Sana. It has been a trend in Pakistan to marry more than once, and many fans are trolling Sania Mirza for choosing a Pakistani over an Indian Muslim.
