No-balls are every bowler's nightmare, but sometimes, they turn into moments of sheer comedy. Such was the case in the Abu Dhabi T10 League match between Samp Army and New York Strikers, where Hazrat Bilal’s colossal overstep not only raised eyebrows but left everyone in stitches.

‌New York Strikers found themselves in trouble early in their innings as openers Evin Lewis and Zeeshan Abid failed to get going, leaving the team in a precarious position. Kusal Perera’s aggressive cameo of 22 runs off 9 balls and Kieron Pollard’s quick 18 off 7 balls lifted their spirits slightly, but they could only muster a modest total of 99/7 in 20 overs. Despite the team's struggles, the real entertainment came from a comical moment involving Samp Army pacer Hazrat Bilal, who bowled a massive no-ball after a successful wicket.

 

After conceding just a single run from the first two deliveries, Bilal dismissed New York opener Abid. But things went downhill thereafter as he headlined with a huge no-ball in the fourth delivery that was well past the bowling crease. With the free-hit rule in play, Donovan Ferreira took full advantage, blasting the ball for a six. The overstep was so exaggerated that it had the entire field in disbelief, including Faf du Plessis, who couldn’t help but smile at the sight. The incident quickly became the talk of the dressing room, with Reece Topley sharing a laugh, and Twitter erupting in amusement over Bilal’s memorable overstep.
