‘Push him down to the ground, if he comes in front’: Mushfiqur Rahim caught on stump-mic in 2nd ODI

Mushfiqur Rahim laid the platform for a series-clinching win for Bangladesh against Sri Lanka in the second One-day International (ODI) of the three-match series on Tuesday with a fine century.

However, more than the wicketkeeper-batsman’s heroics with the bat, his antics from behind the stumps became the talk of the town after a video of him started doing the rounds on social media in which Rahim can be heard asking his bowler to push the non-striker down, if he comes in front.

“Push him to the ground, if he comes in front,” the stump mic caught Rahim instructing off-spinner Mehidy Hasan in Bengali during the second ODI between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. (NDTV)
