Sylhet Thunders West Indian pacer Krishmar Santokie raised some eyebrows in the BBPL opener when he followed up a massive wide in the second over of Chattogram Challengers’ chase with an even more bizarre no-ball. In the third ball of the over, Santokie surprised everyone with a ball that pitched just outside the wide mark down the leg side with right-hander Avishka Fernando on strike. Wicketkeeper Mohammad Mithun had to dive full length to collect it. Two balls later, Santokie overstepped the crease by a massive margin that exceeded even the infamous no-ball of Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir at Lord’s in 2010. However, Sylhet skipper Mosaddek Hossain made no comment on the subject in the post-match conference, saying that he did not pay attention when the incident took place.
