Digital Desk: Bangladesh wicketkeeper-batsman Nurul Hasan has accused Indian former captain Virat Kohli of "fake fielding" that went unreported the on-field umpires and cost his team five crucial penalty runs in their T20 World Cup match.
Bangladesh fell five runs short of their revised target of 151 in 16 overs after a short stint of rain showers.
While his captain, Shakib Al Hasan, stated that Bangladesh had lost fairly and squarely, Nurul, who kept Bangladesh in the game in the penultimate over with a six and a four off Arshdeep Singh, appeared to criticise the on-field umpires after the game.
"The damp outfield definitely had an impact when we restarted the game." But there was also a fake throw that might have given us five runs, but we didn't even get that," Nurul added in Bengali at the mixed zone, indirectly accusing umpires Chris Brown and Marais Erasmus of failing to notice the event.
Nurul was referring to an incident that occurred in the seventh over. A video clip showed Arshdeep throwing the ball from deep and Kohli feigning to relay it at the non-end striker's at one point.
A relay throw occurs when the closer fielder catches the ball from deep and tosses it at the stumps.
The two batsmen, Litton Das and Najmul Hossain Shanto, didn't even look at Kohli, which raises issues about Nurul's case.
The fielding team is not allowed to "deliberately, distract, deceive, or hinder the batter," according to ICC playing conditions rule 41.5, which deals with unfair play.
The umpire has the authority to declare a dead ball and give out five penalty runs if he determines that someone has broken the rule.
Nurul charged Kohli with fake fielding, but he neglected to consider the "distraction and deception" portion of the regulation.
Shanto and Litton weren't paying attention to Kohli, so they weren't diverted or tricked.
Nurul, on the other hand, may face consequences for his criticism of the match officials.
