New Delhi:
India won the 20-over World Cup by 5 runs against Bangladesh under the Duckworth-Lewis rule.
In this match, Virat Kohli had accused Virat Kohli of fake fielding in an attempt to distract them.
Arshdeep Singh, who was standing near the boundary line, caught the ball from Akshar Patel’s 2nd ball of the 7th over, which was caught by wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik. But Virat Kohli, who was standing in between, caught the ball as it passed him and threw it towards the bowler’s area.
But Bangladeshi batsmen Litantas and Najkula Hussain did not notice Kohli’s action and scored 2 runs. Referring to this event, Nurul Hasan criticized the field umpires.
He said that the umpires should have looked at it properly and awarded 5 runs to Bengal as punishment for the Indian team, and if it had been done, the course of the game would have changed.
ICC If the umpires find that the batsmen have been distracted by fake fielding, the batting team will be awarded 5 runs. But even though Kohli’s behavior went unnoticed by the umpires, it was also reported that the batsmen were not distracted by the action.
Former Indian opener and television commentator Akash Chopra has admitted that Virat Kohli did 100 percent fake fielding and he made a mistake. He said in this regard:-
What Virat Kohli did was definitely 100 percent fake fielding. Without catching the ball, he acted as if he was throwing ‘duro’ to deceive the batsman. If the umpire had seen it, he would have given a huge 5 runs.
In this match, Indian team won by 5 runs. So we escaped. In this regard, the Bangladeshi player’s allegation is correct.
This is what Chopra says.
