officials ‘favored’ India in the T20 World Cup match between India and
Bangladesh, which was postponed due to rain.
Nurul Hasan, the wicketkeeper-batsman for Bangladesh, has accused Virat
Kohli of “fake fielding,” claiming that the action went unreported by the
on-field umpires and cost his team five penalty runs.
After a lengthy rain delay, Bangladesh was given an adjusted goal of 151
runs in 16 overs, which they ultimately failed to achieve by five.
Nurul, who kept Bangladesh in the game in the final over with a six and a
four off Arshdeep Singh, seemed to criticize the on-field umpires after the
game, even though his captain, Shakib Al Hasan, accepted that they lost
fairly and squarely.
Nurul’s incident of concern occurred in the seventh over. In reality,
Arshdeep threw the ball from deep in the field, and Kohli pretended to take
it at the point and send it to the batter-less end.
