Litton Das calls Ish Sodhi back after run out at non-strikers end – CricBlog

Cricket News: Litton Das calls Ish Sodhi back after run out at non-strikers end | Reactions to Litton Das recalling Ish Sodhi

Bangladesh captain Litton Das recalled Ish Sodhi after the latter was run out at the non-strikers’ end in the second ODI against New Zealand at Mirpur.

In the 46th over, seamer Hasan Mahmud took the bails off before jumping into his delivery stride, catching Sodhi out of his crease in the process. Sodhi backed up a little too far, with his back leg short of the crease when the bails were removed.

On review, Sodhi was given out by the third umpire.

However, in a twist, Das was then seen talking to the umpires. He and Hasan agreed to call Sodhi back, with Hasan and Sodhi then embracing one another with a hug.

At that point, Sodhi was 17 not out off 26 balls with New Zealand at 224/8. He went on to make 35 off 39 balls and the Black Caps finished with 254 on a slow pitch.

Beautiful & commendable stuff from Liton Das
Hassan Mahmud mankaded Ish Sodhi & he gestured “Well done” 2 him (in anger) with a tap on his bat, Bangladesh’s Skipper went 2 the umpire & asked him to bring back Sodhi. He came back & Hugged Hassan. So lovely#NZvBAN #BANvNZ #BANvsNZ pic.twitter.com/BJhAZjsG9I

Some fans were not in favour of the move. Their argument is the play is within the rules of the game.

Ish Sodhi called back to bat by bangladesh Captain Litton Das and bowler Hasan Mahmud after being given run-out (Mankad).

Will Bangladesh do the same when the opponent team needs 1 run to win with 1 wicket in hand in the World Cup crucial game 🙄

Why @ICC make such rules? i…

Captain Litton Das called back Sodhi, after he spoke to the umpire. Maybe due to the good spirit between the teams, but looked weird. Why bring him back when he is clearly run out?

— Mohammad Isam (@Isam84) September 23, 2023

The Mankad/RONSBU needs to be a accepted as a legitimate form of dismissal.

I’m sure Litton Das would not have called back Sodhi had he been bowled. https://t.co/oHFBUxHKrB
