Many would say that the outcome of the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 final could've been a lot different had it not been for one devastating mistake by Jasprit Bumrah.

The unorthodox pacer over-stepped the popping-crease to bowl a no-ball, even as Fakhar Zaman was early into his innings. And as luck would have it, the ball took the outside edge of the Pakistani opener's bat and was pouched comfortably by MS Dhoni.

Fakhar, of course, went on to make the most of that reprieve by slamming a century. With the help of that knock, Pakistan posted a mammoth total which proved to be too much for the famed Indian batting line-up.

Highlighting the importance of that no-ball by Bumrah, Jaipur Traffic Police decided to put up a massive billboard that reminded motorists the importance of not crossing the line. "Don't cross the line. You know it can be costly," was the caption on the billboard, with an image of the fateful over-step from Bumrah.

While social media had a hearty laugh sharing this post, Bumrah wasn't too pleased and expressed his displeasure on Friday. In a series of tweets, one of India's premier fast-bowlers mocked Jaipur Traffic Police for making fun of a genuine human error.

"@traffic_jpr well done Jaipur traffic police this shows how much respect you get after giving your best for the country," wrote Bumrah. "@traffic_jpr But don't worry I won't make fun of the mistakes which you guys make at your work .because I believe humans can make mistakes."
