The Bangladesh team's Captain recently recorded one of the worst reviews in the history of cricket.
In a hilarious series of events, the Bangladesh team recorded one of the worst reviews in the history of cricket. Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are currently locking horns for the Final Test of Sri Lanka’s tour of Bangladesh at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram from 30th March to 3rd April.
In the second Test of the series, Sri Lanka won the toss and chose to bat first. After scoring 151 runs on the board, an amusing action by the hosts caught the attention of the fans. It was the 44th over of the match, the team’s skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto handed the ball to the left-arm orthodox spinner, Taijul Islam.
After Conceding only a single in the first four deliveries of the over, Taijul Islam bowled the fifth delivery of the over to which the Sri Lankan top order batter Kusal Mendis defended. However, what seemed like an LBW to the Bangladesh captain, he asked the umpire for a DRS.
What just happened? 👀

The ball clearly hit the middle of the bat, as the signal for review left the on field umpire confused. However, Shanto believed the ball hit the pad instead of the bat. The video clip of the atrocious review instantly went viral on the Internet as the fans gave some hysterical reactions.
Kusal Mendis was later dismissed by Shakib Al Hasan at a score of 93 off 150 deliveries as the attacking batter missed a well deserved century.
As of 82 overs, Sri Lanka has scored 291 runs at the loss of four wickets on the day one of the second test match with Dinesh Chandimal and Dhananjaya de Silva on the crease.

I think the @ICC should look into reviews taken like that…. this one is absolutely shady and baffling to say the least. Bangladesh cricket has never ceased to amaze.

Bangladesh always finds a way to entertain Cricket fans.
This time they come up with the worst review of the century. Ball hits the middle of the bat and pad is not even close to bat, and they have taken the review.
You just can’t miss this.pic.twitter.com/QRnmpbwYRs
