Rajasthan Royals’ bowling all-rounder Stuart Binny, who made his IPL 2018 debut against Chennai Super Kings during match number 17 at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, faced the heat on Twitter after he started the bowling proceedings with a no-ball.
Binny was included in the RR playing XI for the match against CSK. The all-rounder was given the first over after RR skipper Ajinkya Rahane opted to field after winning the toss.
Binny started with a no-ball and was hammered for two fours by CSK opening batsman Shane Watson. He was soon taken off after the first over.
Here’s how Twitterati reacted on Binny’s poor show:

After CSK’s home matches were moved out of Chennai following the tension over the Cauvery river water issue, it will be Chennai’s first game at Pune, which is now their new home for this year’s edition of the league.
Both the sides have made a couple of changes as Suresh Raina and Karn Sharma replace Murli Vijay and Harbhajan Singh for CSK.
On the other hand, Heinrich Klaasen and Stuart Binny have made it to the playing XI replacing Darcy Short and Dhawal Kulkarni.
Teams:
Chennai Super Kings: Shane Watson, Ambati Rayudu, Suresh Raina, Sam Billings, Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain/wicket-keeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Dwayne Bravo, Deepak Chahar, Karn Sharma, Shardul Thakur, Imran Tahir
Rajasthan Royals: Ajinkya Rahane (captain), Rahul Tripathi, Sanju Samson, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler(wicket-keeper), Heinrich Klaasen, Stuart Binny, Krishnappa Gowtham, Shreyas Gopal, Jaydev Unadkat, Ben Laughlin
