In the match between Bangladesh and Pakistan, we witnessed a truly remarkable moment that left Litton Das and cricket fans in complete disbelief.
The story began with Bangladesh struggling at 66/3 in 15 overs, facing Pakistan at Eden Gardens during the World Cup. However, the excitement grew among the local crowd in Bengal as Litton Das and Mahmudullah formed a strong partnership, pushing the scoreboard forward.
At the 20-over mark, both batsmen were on the verge of achieving half-centuries, raising hopes for a turnaround. But then, in a shocking turn of events, tragedy struck and Litton Das’s reaction was nothing short of astonishing.
Litton Das was facing part-time spinner Iftikhar Ahmed on a slow, spin-friendly pitch. Ahmed delivered a slow, tempting ball that pitched in line with the stumps and turned into the right-handed batsman. Despite the seemingly straightforward nature of the delivery, Litton’s footwork went awry as he carelessly rocked back in his crease and hesitantly played at the ball.
As a result, the ball hit the toe end of Litton’s bat and twisted in his hands while attempting the shot, causing the ball to float up and land in the hands of Salman Agha Ali at catching midwicket.
As the Pakistani players erupted in celebration, Litton Das hung his head in sheer disappointment. He remained rooted to the spot, seemingly unable to move. In an almost absurdly long 25-second pause, Litton recreated the shot in his shadow a couple of times before finally trudging off the field.
