Following India’s narrow 5-run win over the Bangladesh in the Group 2 match to strengthen their semi-finals qualification hopes, Nurul Hasan made a big allegation against Virat Kohli, accusing him of 'fake fielding' during the match. With Bangladesh losing the game by 5 runs, Hasan believes that India should have been reprimanded for Kohli's 'fake fielding' and handed a 5-run penalty.

After Litton Das's fiery start, while chasing a revised target of 151 in 16 overs, Nurul Hasan produced some magnificent shots down the order to keep his side in the game. After failing to take Bangladesh over the line, he cited the 'fake fielding episode' going unnoticed as one of the reasons behind his team's loss.


"Definitely, the wet outfield did have an impact when we restarted the game. But there was also a fake throw which could have got us five runs but we didn't even get that," Nurul said in Bengali at the mixed zone, taking an indirect dig at umpires Chris Brown and Marais Erasmus.

The fake fielding incident that Nurul is talking about happened in the 7th over where Arshdeep Singh threw the ball from the deep towards the wicket-keeper's end. Kohli, standing in the line of the throw, simulated towards the non-striker's end while the ball was on his way to reach the wicket-keeper.

However, If the umpires had found Virat Kohli guilty of 'fake fielding', Bangladesh would have been awarded 5 runs.
