BAN vs NZ 2nd ODI Hasan Mehmud Mankading Ish Sodhi: Sportsmanship has always been a topic of discussion in cricket. There has always been a debate on whether any player should follow sportsmanship or follow the rules to make his team win. Runout through mankading is one of these issues. In the second ODI between Bangladesh and New Zealand played in Dhaka on Saturday, Bangladesh captain Liton Das won hearts with one of his noble deeds.
Hasan Mahmood dismissed Ish Sodhi
This scene was seen in the 46th over. When Hasan Mahmood started bowling the ball to New Zealand batsman Lockie Ferguson, Ish Sodhi, standing at the other end, went beyond the crease. As soon as Hasan Mahmood saw Sodhi coming forward, he immediately scattered the bails through Mankading. Ish was ahead of the crease, so he was declared out. He started returning from the field. While leaving, Sodhi kept clapping on this Mankading with bat and hand. Maybe they wanted to taunt. Meanwhile, a crowd of players gathered near the umpire. But what is this?
WOW! SOME DRAMA IN DHAKA

Liton Das called back
Bangladesh captain Liton Das discussed with the umpire. After this he called the returning Sodhi to bat again. Sodhi was surprised to see this as he did not expect it, but as soon as he returned, he was overjoyed to see the spirit of the Bangladesh players. He came back and hugged the bowler in joy.
Ish Sodhi was run out at the non strikers end by Hasan Mahmud. The third umpire checked and gave OUT! But when Sodhi started walking out, skipper Litton Das and Hasan Mahmud called him back again. What a beautiful scene! Lovely spirit of the game. The hug at the end was wonderful… pic.twitter.com/GvrpjXcJwB
