WATCH Ish Sodhi's run-out at non-striker's end gets reversed by Bangladesh captain

In a recent incident during the 2nd ODI between Bangladesh and New Zealand at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka, bowler Hasan Mahmud dismissed New Zealand's Ish Sodhi at the non-striker's end. However, what made this moment noteworthy was the response of Mahmud's teammates, as their captain decided to recall the Kiwi batter to continue his innings.

The dismissal occurred during the 46th over of the innings when Mahmud removed the bails before delivering the ball, noticing that Sodhi had strayed out of his crease. Umpire Marais Erasmus sought assistance from the third umpire, who declared Sodhi out as he was found to be outside the crease.

As Sodhi was making his way back to the pavilion, he offered a sarcastic round of applause to Mahmud. Nevertheless, Litton Das, the captain of the Bangladesh team, approached Erasmus and ultimately chose to call Sodhi back to resume his innings. New Zealand's innings concluded with a total of 254 runs, just four balls before the end of the innings.

Dismissal at non-striker's end:

This mode of dismissing non-striker batters, previously referred to as 'Mankad,' has been a contentious topic in international cricket. Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin supports this form of dismissal, which was officially incorporated into the MCC laws last year. Ashwin had utilized this tactic during an Indian Premier League (IPL) match, sparking controversy and debates regarding the 'Spirit of the Game.'

In a similar situation, Shadab Khan faced a 'Mankad' dismissal during the second ODI between Pakistan and Afghanistan last month. Fazalhaq Farooqi executed the dismissal by running out Shadab Khan at the non-striker's end while delivering the ball, with Pakistan needing 11 runs to win in the final over.

Talking about the clash between Bangladesh and New Zealand, the first ODI of the three-match series was called off due to rain. This series will represent the final bilateral action for both teams before they head to India for the ODI World Cup. New Zealand is set to participate in the opening match of the tournament against England on October 5 in Ahmedabad.
