During the 46th over of the New Zealand innings in their 2nd ODI against Bangladesh in Dhaka on Saturday, bowler Hasan Mahmud executed a legitimate run-out at the non-striker’s end, where Ish Sodhi was backing up too far.
The umpires promptly declared Sodhi out, and he began to make his way towards the pavilion. However, a surprising turn of events transpired when the Bangladesh captain, Litton Das, engaged with the umpires, resulting in Sodhi being recalled.
An emotional moment followed as the New Zealand cricketer, appreciating the gesture, shared a heartfelt hug with bowler Hasan Mahmud as he returned to the crease.
Sodhi contributed a valuable 35 runs in his innings, featuring three impressive sixes, significantly aiding New Zealand in reaching a total of 254 runs in the second game of the three-match ODI series.
