Virat Kohli 'fake fielding' incident:

Bangladesh wicketkeeper-batter Nurul Hasan has accused Indian maestro Virat Kohli of "fake fielding" which went unnoticed by on-field umpires and robbed his team of five potentially vital penalty runs in their T20 World Cup game. Set a revised target of 151 in 16 overs after a brief spell of rain, Bangladesh fell short by five runs. While his skipper Shakib Al Hasan conceded that they lost fair and square, Nurul, who kept Bangladesh in the game in the final over with a six and a four off Arshdeep Singh, seemed to criticise the on-field umpires after the game.

"Definitely, the wet outfield did have an impact when we restarted the game. But there was also a fake throw which could have got us five runs but we didn't even get that," Nurul said in Bengali at the mixed zone, indirectly accusing umpires Chris Brown and Marais Erasmus of overlooking the incident.

Nurul Hasan should have pointed it to the umpire then and there rather than crying after a defeat. That is call game awareness.

Sangakkara also did fake fielding once to con Ahmed Shehzad. Did he got fined?

I'm surprised he didn't start crying right there and then because his little trick didn't work.

Embarrassing player.

 

[MenInG]

The India vs Bangladesh Super 12 match at the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 triggered a huge controversy with Bangla Tigers' wicket-keeper batter Nurul Hasan accusing Virat Kohli of 'fake fielding'. Even Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan was involved in an intense conversation with the umpires ahead of the resumption of the game, after rain interruption. Now, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has reportedly decided to raise the 'controversial umpiring' matter in a 'proper forum'.

In a report by Cricbuzz, Jalal Yunus, BCB's cricket operation chairman, said that Shakib also took up the 'fake fielding' matter with the umpires but the concern was played down.

"We have spoken about it. You have seen it in the TV and everything happened in front of you. There was one regarding fake throw and we have notified the umpires about the fake throw but he said he did not notice it and that is the reason he did not take the review. Shakib discussed a lot about it with Erasmus and even spoke with him after game," Jalal said, as per the report.

Jalal also said that Shakib had requested the umpires to start the game, after rain interruption, a little late as the outfield was still wet. But, their request was turned down.

"Secondly, Shakib had spoken about the wet field and he asked that he can take some more time and let the field get dried and start the game after the field is dried. But... the umpires' decision is final and that is reason there was no place for argument. There was only one decision whether you will play or not play," he said.

Jalal has now confirmed that the BCB intends to raise their concern 'in a proper forum'. "We have it in our head so that we can raise the issue in the proper forum," he asserted.

Fake fielding by Virat Kohli, due 5 penalty runs and overlooking by the umpires

Virat Kohli did this fake fileding while Arshdeep was throwing the ball to the non-striker's end. This very naturmomentarially caused confusion among Bangladeshi batsmen. This kind of fake gestural fielding has been prohibited by an ICC law formed in 2018. If any fielder do this batting side shall get 5 penalty runs. Nazmul Shanto complained it to the onfield umpires but they totally ignored it according to a very dependable source of BCB. At least the umpires could have referred it to the third umpire to see the replay and give a verdict. But they didn't. I think Bangladesh was unfairly not given that 5 penalty runs. Your opinion?

 

[Hitman]

I'll bite my tongue, and agree with you.

 

[Major]

Many of us called this. Indians said pakistans have issue, bengalis don't care so why we complaining. Than Narul also said this.

Bangladesh need to file a match report against Erasmus.

 

[hamzie]

there must be a body or organisation who overlooks cheating in sports, something above ICC to report this to

There should be a process. First do report and official complaint to ICC. If they respond by negative verdict,there should be an organisation for appeal

 

[karthikc]

But Bangladesh was anyway not here to win the cup..chill man..it's part of the game

 

[Madplayer]

A lot of Indian posters tried to undermine my thread about potential ethical issues related to ICC umpires officiating in IPL. But with every passing Indian match, there are more people asking similar questions because you cannot fool all the people all the time. Bangladesh was robbed.

 

[Hextro]

Shocking reply. Bangladesh should be cheated and abused because "They aren't here to win the cup.". Can't say I'm surprised.

 

[Devadwal]

Even today match between South Africa and Pakistan when the bowler( Wasim) running on bowling mark then his towel Fall in the ground and its should be a no ball but umpire missed that .

Its funny how Indians don't see when there team cheats and have to bring in trivial things to counter argue. That's when you know you are getting to them

 

[reversehook]

whats done is done... the fake fielding i spotted it live when the game was on... the ball went past kohli and he pretended to collect it and whip it to the bowlers end... i can see why the bd players didnt catch it, but the umpires should have seen that and awarded 5 penalty runs.

Going forward: 3rd umpire should watch for nonsense like this and report it to the onfield umps and direct them to penalize the guilty team. 3rd umpire should have a bigger role, same with waist high balls too, if the on field umps dont catch it, he can relay info to them, just like he does for the front foot no ball etc...

I am interested to see what there team does against Zimbabwe..

Bangladesh was indeed robbed

Answer my questions , don't bring your imaginary part as i know about your cricketing knowledge . Umpire missed on both occasions so whose fault here?? Had Bangladesh batsman complaint about fake fielding at that time ??

 

[Usman Chadda]

They are immature, what do you expect?

[Hextro]

Even today match between South Africa and Pakistan when the bowler( Wasim) running on bowling mark then his towel Fall in the ground and its should be a no ball but umpire missed that .

Wasim used black magic to make his towel slip. It was totally intentional.

I can't keep up with the excuse at this point. The funny thing is that knew that Indians would compare Kohli doing fake fielding to Wasim's towel falling out exactly the moment it happened. ICF's behavior is getting way too predictable. Arguably the worst sports fans in the world.

Make all the excuses you want but don't make excuses for blatant and obvious cheating.

 

[reversehook]

after rewatching that clip, lolz the leg umpire (standing in the off field point area) was staring at VK just like salman butt was staring at asif and amir bowling noballs... how did he not call that... * prob not a fan of nagin dance...

Its no excuse as it was a no ball so don't deflect the actual questions.umpire missed that fake fielding so a today no ball and even batsman not said anything at that moment .

You are embarrassing yourself with these childish posts.

 

[Mamoon]

Cricket fans are softer than plush pillows. What is the problem with fake fielding? If the batsmen don’t have awareness of what is happening around them and get deceived, so what?

If cricket fans are in charge of football, they would ban fake shots because it can deceive defenders.

Great job Virat, if only Pakistani players had half the intelligence and awareness that you do.

The problem is that it’s against the rules. Therefore there has to be consequences.

The umpire didn't see it so it's ok the same way it's ok to cheat in an exam if the teacher doesn't find out. I completely understand your logic. We all have different moral standards.

Yes I know about those moral standards very well .lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

This complaint will reach the dust bin straight away. Calling umpires cheats is not exactly the best way to open your argument.

 

[dildilpak]

This is not acceptable at all. Umpires should be reprimanded for not taking this up.

 

[Snowflake]

Nurul Hasan should have pointed it to the umpire then and there rather than crying after a defeat. That is call game awareness.

Sangakkara also did fake fielding once to con Ahmed Shehzad. Did he got fined?

Why have the umpires at all if the players need to be doing the job for them? Every one isn't Kohli that they go gesturing to the umpires when they need a decision to go their way.

 

[Hextro]

Yes I know about those moral standards very well .lol

I'm surprised to know that. I thought they would be alien to you considering you think people should be able to get away with cheating if they don't get caught.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is not acceptable at all. Umpires should be reprimanded for not taking this up.

Why would they take this up? Umpire has to determine if it is intentional and they will decide whether it resulted in impact. In this case No to both. Batsmen didn't even see Kohli. Also they completed the two comfortably. This technical "penalty" is clutching at straws.

 

[Boxer]

Sour grapes

It wasn't intentional? ) Kohli's arm just did a throwing motion as soon as the ball was next to him by itself?

What impact? Please read the rule. Don't make stuff up.

Indians really go to any length to defend their team.

Did it cause any impact? Bairstow pretty much faked a run out and smith had to dive in. Umpires determined it was unintentional. In this case batsmen didn't even look. Umpires didn't look. Nobody claimed anything in real time. Suddenly a guy in dug out claiming won't make this intentional.

 

[jnaveen1980]

You can cry all you want. This complaint is dead on arrival. This will start and end in forums like all the other whinings.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

This is not good.
Kohli should be penalized.

Sanga and Dhoni did these kind of things in past.

Don't you understand? Kohli does that hand motion every match because It gets him fired up! You'd know that fact if you were a real fan.

Thank you Marais for overlooking this, silly protests must be ignored

Nurul Hasan himself was asking umpire to give a wide on another delivery, so its not as if he didnt wanted to take it to the umpire. He was simply not aware of the rule and only choose to bring it up when they lost the game. Umpires not always capture these kind of things. When Sangakkara conned Ahmed Sehzad with fake fielding did anyone bat an eyelid? Infact, Sehzad could have injured himself during that incident

There is no requirement for fake fielding to have had an impact for it to be penalised.

Some Indians (many are rational here) and particularly one Pakistani poster here try to demerit this cheating allegations by saying conspiracy theory . But this is a robbery in daylight.

 

[jnaveen1980]

That is where umpire interpretation comes into play. Then every bodily movement can be considered a distraction. In this case nobody got distracted. That is why at the internationals no instance of penalty being awarded any teams. 5 free runs? Yea right lol

 

[Front Foot Pull]

This is not good.
Kohli should be penalized.

Sanga and Dhoni did these kind of things in past.

if you are talking about the same incident that i am thinking about, then you can't put dhoni and sanga in the same line. sanga acted, dhoni stood still. so standing still also distracts? it did get the better of the batsman, but can't be blamed even according to the law.
sanga and de kock's incidents can be discussed though (also find them extremely funny)

 

[Front Foot Pull]

let them report and the necessary action be taken, if needed, and put an end to this. people have so much interest in these soap operas than watching the actual sport.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Some Indians (many are rational here) and particularly one Pakistani poster here try to demerit this cheating allegations by saying conspiracy theory . But this is a robbery in daylight.

When you use the word cheating you should also accept the word "conspiracy theory". Inspite of terrible records of BD in this format they always make the loudest noise over non-issue like this. Team like Australia/England won't even care about these things. They will just move on try to analyze what went wrong and fix it. A reason why Bangladesh is stuck at the bottom of the pool. They rarely get into winning position. When they mess it up they find a reason to whine about it.

 

[Snowflake]

Again, impact does not matter. Please read the rule.

So, you are sticking with the claim that Kohli's arm made a throwing motion by itself and Kohli had no intention of doing so?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Again, impact does not matter. Please read the rule.

So, you are sticking with the claim that Kohli's arm made a throwing motion by itself and Kohli had no intention of doing so?

No, it matters. They have set the precedence already. Otherwise batsman can abuse the law saying "hey he distracted me by pointing fingers". So umpire has to determine that.

 

[Gullycricket]

This guy is a cheat and everyone defending him should be ashamed. I remember how much noise he created when Steve Smith was taking help from dressing room for Referals. This is far worse. His nickname should be changed from cheeku to cheatu

 

[Mesozoic]

Sore losers. Remember they did this in the 2015 world Cup too.

7 years on and they're still lodging complaints instead of producing a team that can actually win consistently against top sides.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yup. They play like 100 matches lose 90.. get into a winning position in one of the 90 and give the advantage right back. Then find a reason to complain about it. This is getting old.

 

[cricketjoshila]

There is no requirement for fake fielding to have had an impact for it to be penalised.

Then last year, Pakistan was denied a fake fielding penalty in a close finish against South Africa. With Pakistan needing 31 runs to win off last six, Fakhar Zaman was run out after South African wicketkeeper, Quinton de Kock, appeared to signal that a throw from the deep was heading to the bowler’s end.

Fakhar, thinking that the ball wasn’t coming to his end, slowed down only for Aiden Markram’s throw to hit the stumps at the keeper’s end, catching him short of his crease.

Why was this not penalized?

I can give more examples.

 

[dildilpak]

At best, Kohli will be penalized over this, but the result of the match cannot be overturned. This was totally a stupid unnecessary move by Kohli, moreso because it also had no relevance to the outcome of that run.

On the other hand, I am not sure if Bangladesh had immediately complained to the umpires & match referee after that incident, but hopefully they had.

 

[cricketjoshila]

So BCB has decided to bring this to proper forum. Thats fine.

But just because BCB decides to bring this to ICC, doesn't mean they are right.

 

[Mesozoic]

Yup. They play like 100 matches lose 90.. get into a winning position in one of the 90 and give the advantage right back. Then find a reason to complain about it. This is getting old.

And i dont even know what they're complaining for here. The batsmen didn't even get distracted by Kohli and he wasn't even in their eye line.

Desperation really. And a bigger lol at the usual cry baby suspects here. After the "wet outfield", they have moved onto the next bone to chew on.

 

[murakh1]

There Was No Need To Do That Fake Throwing Gesture, Could Have Caused As 5 Runs And The Match. Kohli Needs To Grow Up But At The Same Time Bangladeshi Cricketers Should Have Talked To The Umpires And If They Think Umpires Are Doing These Deliberately Then They Should Register A Complain And Provide Evidence. Controversy Is The Mother Of Conspiracy, Cricket Is Just A Game So It Should Be Treated As A Game. Aise Rone Dhone Se Kuch Faida Nahi Hai It Is What What It Is Accept The Reality And Move On.

Well Pak cricketers dont know such laws even to be honest, Im sure Inzi knew about obstructing field only when he was given out lol that is how far their knowledge..

But here Ban cricketers seems to hv known some rules and thats where the issue is...

 

[PakPremi]

Wasim towel incident could had been dead ball, not a no ball.

 

[rhony]

This is just hilarious. It is always entertaining watching Bangla fans cry on TV. To be fair, India vs BD games are always very cruel. India always wins but not before raising Bangla hopes to the roof and causing emotional distress to those poor fans.

This fake throw is a non issue. No batsman was even looking at Kohli. They did not stop a run because of his action. No one was deceived. It's as if BD looked at the rule book to find out how they could get 5 additional runs. I'm sure they had hopes that ICC would listen to them and award them 5 runs post game. But.. LOL!!

 

[jnaveen1980]

I thoroughly appreciate the fantastic display by BD. But this post-match drama of "i want to see the manager' is something they can avoid

What is wrong with you bro! There is something called rules and regulations, if you can't follow them then don't play cricket.

If this was the other way around, you would be all over Bangladesh, heck you'd even call Pakistan cheats, fluke, etc. Pathetic response as usual from you.

Rules are rules . When you don't apply the rules so why you make it? It is never a non issue. This law was created to tackle this kind of incidence. Third umpire, DRS all were created due to these kind of biased or careless decisions by onfield umpires.

Some rules are subjective rules. Not set in stone. This is one such rule. Reason this was introduced because many fielders had this habit of pretending that they didn't collect the ball and letting the batsmen run, once they are out they run or stump the batsman out. In some cases they denied runs worse ran batsmen out with fake gestures. Fakhar did get run out. Dekock was neither penalized nor 5 runs added to Pakistan total. Bavuma claimed it is a clever move. This is not even remotely close to that.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Lol.. That was not a game changing moment to demand 5 runs penalty. Silly from kohli though..

 

[Snowflake]

No, it matters. They have set the precedence already. Otherwise batsman can abuse the law saying "hey he distracted me by pointing fingers". So umpire has to determine that.

Precedence based on what? When the rule doesn't state anything about impact, why bring it up now? The rule, however, does state that even an ATTEMPT to distract shall be penalized; hence fake fielding should be penalized regardless of the impact.

He broke the rule but it didn't have any impact, so it shouldn't be penalized - that is what you are arguing on.

My God, this really isn't that complex.

This Karen like behaviour is what causes BD a lot of heartache. They think they've been robbed but they mess up from winning positions. It's even more heartbreaking for them when nobody cares.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Didn't know you were ICC. Don't make things up.

What constitutes a fake fielding. That is decided by umpire. Penalty is also subjective. Chandimal was just warned when he actually influenced a run directly. India didn't get 5 runs. Kohli was upset. But they didn't make a federal case out of it.

 

[Cricket_fan_2021]

I may be in the minority, BUT I agree with a few here. Yes, what kohli did was fake fielding. BUT in order to apply the law here and penalize, it has to be shown that this was a DISTRACTION. We know it was deliberate, BUT is it really a distraction when both batsmen didn't even notice and had easily completed their run without any issues?

Distraction happens when it has actually impacted a course of event. I think that is exactly why this issue is not going to go anywhere.

 

[sweep_shot]

Kohli's fake throw is not a big deal in my opinion.

Only issue they may raise is why the game was started too quickly (rain).

Bangladesh should focus on performance instead of focusing on these trivial matters.

 

[cricketjoshila]

Yes. I don't like this behavior from them. Complaining about small issues.

They complained about Durban Test sledging. Very cringy.

Bangladesh team wasn't like this before. This phenomenon started recently (Shakib's generation).

Are you icc?

No, that is why I am not making my own interpretation of the rule and going by exactly what it says.

Try to understand the post before coming up with a childish retort like that.

What constitutes a fake fielding. That is decided by umpire. Penalty is also subjective. Chandimal was just warned when he actually influenced a run directly. India didn't get 5 runs. Kohli was upset. But they didn't make a federal case out of it.

Throwing without having the ball in hand is a pretty open and shut case for me. You can everything in the world subjective, but the rules state otherwise. Two wrong don't make a right.

Also, why was Kohli upset if the rule was correctly being followed? lol
