The two Asian rivals always give fans memorable moments whenever they meet. Sometimes, they become the talk of the town for their heated moments, and sometimes, they flood the internet with comic incidents.

On the third day of the Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka second Test match, a similar incident took place. Bangladesh fielders got involved in a very bizarre incident in which five fielders ran after the ball to save a boundary. Soon after this, cricket fans started trolling Bangladesh players for their act.

Never seen before on-field decision-making

This fielding blunder was seen in the 20th over of Sri Lanka’s second innings. At that time, Sri Lanka were 90 for 6 with just four wickets remaining in hand, hoping for cemented innings from  Prabath Jayasuriya and Angelo Mathews.

When Bangladesh pacer Hasan Mahmud bowled the second ball of his over, Jayasuriya hit it in the gully region, triggering five fielders to run after the boll to prevent a boundary, which they eventually did only to give a couple of runs to the visitors.

Some fans wrote on X that they got ‘nostalgic’ after seeing this messy situation, as it reminded them of a funny scene from the Bollywood blockbuster Lagaan.

One more strange act of the hosts was witnessed earlier in the match when Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto took an odd review for LBW.

Talking about the match, Sri Lanka declared their second innings on the fourth day of the match at 157  for 7, setting a target of 511 runs for the home team.
