The final of the emerging nation’s Asia Cup 2023 between India A and Pakistan A got underway in Colombo on July 23, 2023. India captain Yash Dhull won the toss and chose to bowl first.

Both Pakistani openers Saim Ayub (59) and Sahibzada Farhan (65) gave their team a quick start against Indian bowlers, especially in the powerplay overs, and added 121 runs in just 17.2 overs when Ayub fell for Manav Suthar.

However, India could’ve gotten a wicket sooner had Rajvardhan Hangargekar managed to not bowl a no-ball.

On the last ball of the 4th over, Hangargekar got Ayub to play a false shot on a fullish delivery which the opener tried to hit on the leg side and only managed to hit it in the air. However, the umpire had already called a no-ball and the batters ran through for a single by the time keeper Jurel caught it.

Check it out here:

Hangargekar's no-ball reminded the fans of the 2017 Champions Trophy final, where Jasprit Bumrah gave a reprieve to Fakhar Zaman by dismissing him off a no-ball. Zaman went on to score a century and steered the Men in Green to a title win.

Here is how the fans reacted to the incident and coincidence:
