After losing the match, Bangladeshi wicketkeeper batsman Nurul Hasan has come forward with allegations against India. Nurul said that skipper Shakib Al Hasan had refused to play in the wet outfield. The Bangladesh captain’s argument was that there is no condition to continue the match.
Another argument Nurul makes is former Indian skipper Virat Kohli’s fake throw. The Bangladesh cricket team is demanding action against the Indian team for trying to cheat the batter. According to the ICC rules, 5 runs should be deducted from the Indian team’s score as a penalty. Nurul says that if these conditions were different, the result of the match would have been different.
The game was interrupted by rain when Bangladesh were 66 runs without losing a wicket against India’s target of 185 runs. Shakib did not agree with the decision to resume the game. But Indian captain Rohit Sharma insisted on restarting the match. At this time Bangladesh was ahead of India according to Deckworth-Lewis law.

The fake throw controversy happened in the seventh over of the match. It was Indian spinner Axar Patel who bowled the over when Bangladesh resumed the match. Bangladesh batter Liton Das hits the ball towards the deep off side. Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh was fielding there. Arshdeep took the ball and threw it straight to the keeper Dinesh Karthik. It has been alleged that Virat Kohli, who was standing between them, tried to deceive the batter by playing a fake throw.
Cric Bus reports that the decision of the Bangladesh Cricket Board is to file a complaint in the forum where the matter should be raised. “We have discussed this issue. Everyone watched the events on TV. The umpire was informed about the fake throw. But they said that they did not notice. That’s why the review didn’t go. We have now thoroughly examined the matter. It has been decided to file a complaint in the relevant forum,” Bangladesh Cricket Board Director Mohammad Jalal Yunus said.
