Reporter's strange question to Shakib Al Hasan about 'Bangladeshi rivers' stuns allrounder

India and Bangladesh locked horns in the rain-affected 35^th match of the 20-20 World Cup 2022. On being asked to bat first at the turf of Adelaide Oval, the Indians posted a total of 185 runs for the loss of six wickets in the allotted 20 overs. While chasing the target, Bangladesh opener Litton Das went after the Indian bowlers and smashed a swashbuckling half-century knock of 60 runs off just 27 balls with seven boundaries.

Litton’s one-man show was hampered by the rain after seven overs and later, he fell prey to KL Rahul’s brilliant throw and went back to the pavilion. Eventually, Bangladesh fell five runs short of the revised target of 151 runs in the 16 overs.

During a discussion about resuming the game, skipper Shakib Al Hasan found himself on a receiving end of a savage question from the Bangladeshi reporter about the former’s stance on resuming the game.

"Shakib, bad luck. Did you really try not to play after the rain? What was the discussion that went through? Did you try to convince the umpire and Rohit Sharma?" asked Report to the Bangladesh skipper.

“I don’t have the power to convince the umpire of the opposing captain of anything,” replied Shakib.

But the reporter couldn’t keep his calm to this answer from the 35-year-old and hit back with a savage response.

“Then were you discussing something about the rivers of Bangladesh?"
