Mumbai: Abhishek Nayar has again drawn some lime-light but all because of his awful bowling in the semis of the Deodhar Trophy. He bowled a 17-ball over against South Zone at the Jawaharlal Mehru Stadium in Guwahati. Nayar ended bowling 10 wides and a no ball in that over.

He scalped a wicket off the first ball of the over as he bowled GH Vihari. Dinesh Karthik scored a couple off the next ball and the third ball was called wide, a decision which wasn’t appreciated by Nayar. The umpire rejected a lbw appeal off the next ball and then began the flurry of wides.


“These things happen. I had a bad day and I was not provoked by the umpire`s call," Nayar told a leading daily.

West Zone won the game with nine overs remaining as Nayar ended with figures of 7-0-49-2 with two crucial wickets of Hanuma Vihari and CM Gautam.
