A fascinating and ultimately heartbreaking incident occurred during the recent T20 match between Bangladesh and the West Indies. On October 27, Bangladeshi batter Taskin Ahmed hit a spectacular six, but his effort was entirely in vain as he was simultaneously given out on the very same delivery.
The drama unfolded in the final over of a tense chase. Bangladesh needed 17 runs to win from the last 3 balls, with only one wicket remaining.
Under immense pressure, Taskin Ahmed played a powerful shot, sending the ball high over the leg-side boundary for what appeared to be a stunning six. Fans watching on TV and in the stadium began to celebrate, believing an improbable victory was still possible. However, their joy quickly turned to despair when the replay confirmed that Taskin was already dismissed just before the ball crossed the rope, nullifying the six and sealing Bangladesh’s defeat.
