A video of Bangladesh batter Mushfiqur Rahim showcasing his football skills on the ground went viral on social media during the third one-day international against New Zealand at Dhaka’s Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on Tuesday.
The visiting side New Zealand defeated Bangladesh in the third ODI to take the series as a booster ahead of the World Cup 2023.
This incident took place on the first delivery of the 16th over by Lockie Ferguson. Mushfiqur Rahim, in an effort to defend a short delivery, saw the ball rebound within the crease and ultimately ended up striking the stumps. Despite Mushfiqur Rahim’s best attempt to kick the ball away, he was unable to do so in time which resulted in his dismissal.
