BAN v IND 2022: WATCH- Bangladesh penalized 5 runs after fielder hits extra helmets with his throw

India made 404 runs in their first innings.

India and Bangladesh resumed the first Test in Chattogram on day 2 on December 15, 2022, with the visitors on 278/6. However, Bangladesh didn’t take much time to get their next wicket as Shreyas Iyer fell for 86 runs, bowled by Ebadot Hossain.

But then the Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan and the bowlers were frustrated thanks to an amazing 92-run partnership for the 8^th wicket between R Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav. In due course, Kuldeep hit his highest Test score of 40 with 5 fours, while Ashwin made his 13^th Test fifty, finishing with 58 runs.

India was finally bowled out for 404 runs, with Mehidy Hasan (4/112) and Taijul Islam (4/133) being the pick of the bowlers.

However, a rare incident happened in the 112^th over of the Indian innings as India was awarded 5 extra runs which were penalized on the Bangladesh team thanks to their fielder hitting the extra helmets with the ball while throwing it to the keeper.

In that over’s 2^nd ball bowled by Taijul, Ashwin got an edge and the ball went past the first slip to the third man region. In the throw that followed, the ball hit the helmet placed behind the wicketkeeper and Team India was awarded five penalty runs.
