Bangladesh superstar Mushfiqur Rahim suffered a rare dismissal in the ongoing second Test against New Zealand in Dhaka. The wicketkeeper-batsman was dismissed for handling the ball during Bangladesh’s first innings in the match. This makes him the eleventh player and the first Bangladeshi cricketer to be dismissed in this way in Test cricket.
The incident occurred during the first innings of Bangladesh, who won the toss and chose to bat. Mushfiqur Rahim defended the fourth ball of the forty-first over bowled by right-arm pacer Kyle Jamison. However, he then caught the ball with his hand, leading to the Kiwis appealing for the wicket. The umpire called it out, and this rare dismissal will be recorded as Obstructing the Field. Rahim had scored 35 runs from 83 balls, including three fours and a six, before being dismissed.
Dismissing a player for handling the ball is a rare occurrence in Test cricket, and Mushfiqur Rahim is now the eighth batsman and the 11th man overall to be dismissed for touching the ball with his hands in Tests. This incident comes under the Obstructing the Field Act 2017, making it a significant moment in the ongoing match.
Players who have previously lost their wickets for touching the ball with their hands in Test matches include Russell Endian, Andrew Hilditch, Mohsin Khan, Desmond Haynes, Mohinder Amarnath, Graham Gooch, Daryl Cullinan, Steve Waugh, Michael Vaughan, and Chamu Chibhaha.
This rare dismissal has sparked discussion and attention in the cricket world, with fans and experts alike fascinated by the unusual turn of events in the ongoing Test match between Bangladesh and New Zealand.
