On Wednesday, Bangladesh gave the Indian cricket team a serious scare during their encounter in Group 2 of the T20 World Cup 2022. Bangladesh had India on the ropes before the match was stopped by rain. The Bangla Tigers were 17 runs ahead of India by DLS method with the score at 66/0 after 7 overs, however when play restarted, Rohit Sharma’s team altered the outcome of the match. Shakib Al Hasan, the captain of Bangladesh, was seen laughing with the umpires before to the start of play. Even during the press conference, he engaged in an engaging Q&A on the same topic with a reporter.
The game was allowed to continue after the rain ceased, despite Bangladesh’s apparent disinterest in seeing play start up right away. Given that Bangladesh’s hitters lost momentum after Litton Das was dismissed, India’s run-out turned out to be the decisive factor. During the press conference with Shakib, a reporter made some humorous inquiries concerning the game’s restart following the rain. Shakib smiled as he heard the queries throughout the conversation.
Here’s their conversation:
Journalist: “Did you really try not to play after the rain?”
Shakib: “Do we have any option?”
Journalist: “No, that’s the reason. Did you try to convince them?”
Shakib: “Convince whom?”
Journalist: “Umpires and Rohit Sharma…”
Shakib: “Do I have the ability to convince the umpire?”
Journalist: “Accha. Then you were discussing the rivers of Bangladesh?”
Shakib: ….
Journalist: “Did you discuss something about the rivers in Bangladesh or something? What were you talking!?? Can you kindly explain?”
Shakib: “OK now you are asking the right question. Umpire called both the captains and told us the targets, how many overs remaining, playing rules…”
Journalist: “That’s all, and you all accepted it?”
Shakib: “Yes”
Journalist: “Beautiful, thank you”
Because of certain remarks he made prior to the match versus India, Shakib has made headlines. It’s fair to assume that he made an effort to refrain from saying anything like that this time.
