"Itna galat kaise ho sakte hai bhai" - Fans troll Bangladesh as Tamim Iqbal and Taskin Ahmed take a bizarre review during BAN vs ENG 2nd ODI
Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal took one of the worst reviews in the history of the game during the second ODI against England in Dhaka on Friday, March 3.
The incident took place in the 48th over of England's innings, off Taskin Ahmed’s bowling. Ahmed looked certain that the ball hit the pads first and convinced Tamim to go for the review. Replays, however, showed that the ball hit the middle of the bat.
The TV umpire didn’t even bother looking at the ultra-edge replay as Adil Rashid clearly middled it with the bat. The batter, on his part, was seen shaking his head in apparent disbelief.
Fans were quick to troll Bangladesh for taking the bizarre review - arguably one of the worst since the technology first came into existence in 2008.
One user wrote on Twitter:
"That review was so bad it should come with penalty runs."
Another user shared a hilarious meme that read:
"Itna galat kaise ho sakte hai bhai (How can you be so wrong brother?)
