Angelo Mathews became part of cricket history on Monday as the former Sri Lanka captain became the first batter in international cricket to be 'timed out'.

The incident happened in Delhi during Sri Lanka's match against Bangladesh. After Sadeera Samarawickrama had just lost his wicket, Mathews took his time striding out to the crease and arrived to take strike after the stipulated two-minute mark.

Time further passed as he suffered an issue with his helmet strap. Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan appealed for the time out and the umpires obliged.

Gambhir took to X, formerly Twitter to express his views on the entire incident. However, it was former India captain Sourav Ganguly who could have been timed out back in 2007.

Australia were reeling at 91/7 when captain Pat Cummins joined Maxwell in the middle. With another upset on cards, Maxwell turned the game on its head, stitching an unbeaten 202-run stand with Cummins.
