Internet Trolls Mushfiqur Rahim After 'Handling The Ball'. England Legend Joins In

Mushfiqur Rahim achieved a dubious feat as the veteran Bangladesh cricketer became the second batter ever in Tests to be dismissed for obstructing the field. The incident happened during Day 1 of the second Test between New Zealand and Bangladesh in Dhaka after Mushfiqur swatted the ball away from his stumps after defending a delivery from Kyle Jamieson. Social media were filled with funny comments regarding the rare and bizarre dismissal with former England skipper Michael Vaughan coming up with a special message. "Welcome to the very exclusive Handled ball club @mushfiqur15 .. only proper players are members .." he posted on X (formerly known as Twitter).

In the match, Mitchell Santner and Glenn Phillips took 3-65 and 3-31 respectively while Ajaz Patel claimed 2-54 for the tourists as they dominated in their bid to level the two-match series.

Mushfiqur top-scored with 35 after Bangladesh opted to bat at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, helping the hosts recover from a dismal 47-4.

England's Leonard Hutton was the only other batsman to be dismissed for obstructing the field in Test cricket, during a match against South Africa at the Oval in 1951.

Mushfiqur's 57-run partnership with Shahadat Hossain helped the hosts recover from the spin demolition of their top order by Santner and Patel.
