Emerging Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh had a forgettable outing in the second T20I against Sri Lanka in Pune. The left-arm pacer, who missed the first match due to fever, recorded mediocre bowling figures of none for 37 in his two overs. 

More importantly, Arshdeep set an undesirable record for the most number of no balls in a single over by an Indian in a T20I. The Punjab pacer delivered three no balls in his very first over to attain the infamous feat. 

He bowled two more no balls in his second over to record the joint-most number of no balls by a bowler in a T20I game.
