Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise Islamabad United tried to take a cheeky dig at star Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah over the no-ball incident from 2017 ICC Champions Trophy final against the Green Army.

“Don't cross the line. It can be costly. Don't leave your homes unnecessarily, MAINTAIN PHYSICAL DISTANCE but make sure your hearts remain close. #UnitedAgainstCovid19,” a tweet from official Twitter handle of the franchise read.

However, Indian fans were quick to respond with a photo of Mohammad Amir no-ball that got him a 5-year ban for spot-fixing and took a jibe at the Islamabad based franchise by writing, “Stay Inside, Stay Safe or face 5-year prison.”

This Bumrah no-ball was quite famous as Pakistani opener Fakhar Zaman had nicked off this delivery but survived and even went on to score a match-winning century.
