Umpire's No-Ball Blunder helps Jasprit Bumrah 100th T20I Wicket In India vs South Africa Match, really?

New Delhi, Dec 10: Jasprit Bumrah has become the first Indian player to take at least 100 wickets in each of the three formats. He is the fifth player overall to achieve the feat. 

The star fast bowler achieved the milestone on the second ball of the 11th over in the India vs South Africa 1st T20I in Cuttack. South Africa's Dewald Brevis was his 100th victim as he was caught by Suryakumar Yadav. Bumrah went short and around off, and Brevis' wild shot got a top edge, with Yadav taking a clean catch at cover. 

However, there were some question marks over the delivery's legality. The umpires checked for a front-foot no-ball, but the third umpire ruled it a 'fair delivery' as it was deemed that some part of Bumrah's shoe was behind the crease.
