"The spinners are really not expected to bowl a no ball. Fast bowlers, in their effort to bowl a yorker or a bouncer, can sometimes overstep. Thus, for a spinner to bowl a no-ball is unacceptable. This is something you got to practice in the nets," Gavaskar told NDTV.
Title aspirants India were on Thursday night knocked out of the World Twenty20 with a heartbreaking seven-wicket defeat at the hands of West Indies, who capitalised on the home team's sloppy bowling display in a high-scoring semi-final showdown in Mumbai.
'WI not a one-man army' He insisted that West Indies have proved that cricket is a team game.
"West Indies is not a one-man team. We were talking about Chris Gayle versus Virat Kohli. He (Gayle) didn't score runs. But look how others put their hands up and contributed.
"It has always been a team game. We tend to highlight one or two players and that is understandable. But it is never a one man game and West Indies have proven that," said the legendary batsman.
