In the IPL 2026 match on Monday, legendary Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar criticized Mumbai Indians fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for a significant no-ball during the 14th over of the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) innings. This occurred after Bumrah had successfully dismissed Himmat Singh, only for the umpire to call it a no-ball, which Gavaskar deemed 'unacceptable' for a player of Bumrah's caliber. Despite this error, the Mumbai Indians triumphed over LSG by six wickets, with Rohit Sharma scoring 84 runs off 44 balls and Ryan Rickelton contributing 83 runs off 32 balls, successfully chasing down LSG's total of 228 runs in just 18.4 overs. LSG's innings featured a standout performance from Nicholas Pooran, who scored 63 runs off 21 balls, but the team remains at the bottom of the points table with only four points from nine matches.
