Cricket is a game full of uncertainties. A single ball can turn the tide of the game. If the match is in the last stage, then the no-ball batting during that time reaches the morale of the team to the seventh sky. After the change in the rules of cricket, no ball has been seen to have a great impact on the result of the match. By getting a free hit on a no ball, the batsman can also hit a six and the out batsman can get a life. In such a situation, the bowling team advises its players to throw the ball cautiously and carefully. Nevertheless, there are some players who have never bowled a no-ball in their entire career. Let us know which bowler did not bowl a single no ball in his entire career.
