"Forever Regret": Ex India Star On Sandeep Sharma's No-Ball Blunder

The Indian Premier League (IPL) continued to produce jaw-dropping moments in the 2023 edition of the league. On Sunday night, Rajasthan Royals' joy turned into agony in a matter of seconds as pacer Sandeep Sharma had to re-bowl the final delivery of the match because of a no-ball. The eventual final ball of the match was then hit for a six by Sunrisers Hyderabad batter Abdul Samad, enabling his side's 4-wicket victory in the match. While it was a miraculous victory for SRH, for RR's Sandeep, it was purely a moment of regret that he might find hard to forget for a long time.
