Don’t cross the line: Jaipur Police uses Bumrah’s ‘no ball’ in Champions Trophy final in advertisement for traffic awareness

Indian cricket fans will hardly forget the infamous no-ball bowled by Jasprit Bumrah in the final of ICC Champions Trophy 2017 against Pakistan. Now the Jaipur Police, in a very interesting way, has used the incident to spread traffic awareness.

An unverified Twitter handle which claims to be the official account of Jaipur traffic police on Tuesday posted a 2-window picture with a quote. One window of the picture shows cars stopped behind the Zebra crossing while the 2^nd window shows Jasprit Bumrah bowling the ‘notorious no-ball’ that changed the course of the match. The quote reads "don’t cross the line it can be costly.’’

The no ball incident happened on Sunday during the India vs Pakistan final match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 in London.

During the match, Bumrah got the better of Pakistan opener Fakhar Zaman, who edged a ball to Mahendra Singh Dhoni when he was batting on 3. But umpire then went upstairs to check the no-ball and the replay showed he did overstep.

However, Zaman then scored a brilliant century and Pakistan won the match by 180 runs.
