Mohammad Rizwan antics rile up Litton Das; heated exchange follows in BAN vs PAK 2nd Test - Watch

NEW DELHI: Tensions flared during the gripping second Test between Bangladesh national cricket team and Pakistan national cricket team as Mohammad Rizwan and Litton Das became involved in a heated on-field exchange on day four of the contest.

The incident unfolded during the 72nd over of Pakistan’s challenging chase of 437 runs when left-arm spinner Taijul Islam was bowling to Rizwan.





After defending a full delivery, Rizwan appeared unhappy with movement near the sight screen and immediately raised the issue with the umpire. Wicketkeeper Litton Das quickly stepped in, leading to a brief but animated verbal confrontation between the two players.

According to the on-field conversation picked up during the broadcast, Litton questioned Rizwan by asking, “What are you doing?” Rizwan responded by pointing toward the background area, saying, “Look, look, he’s standing there.”

Litton then replied, “Why are you looking over there? Focus on your batting here.”

The exchange became more intense when Rizwan fired back, “Is that your job, mine, or the umpire’s?”

Umpire Allahudien Paleker quickly intervened to calm the situation before play resumed without further issues.

While the confrontation lasted only a few moments, it reflected the pressure and intensity surrounding Pakistan’s difficult chase.

At that stage, Rizwan and Salman Agha were rebuilding Pakistan’s innings with a stubborn sixth-wicket partnership after Bangladesh’s bowlers dominated much of the day.

Rizwan remained unbeaten on 75 at stumps, while Agha scored 71 before falling to Taijul Islam, whose four-wicket haul pushed Bangladesh closer to victory.

Bangladesh ended day four firmly in control with Pakistan at 316/7, still needing 121 runs with only three wickets remaining.

Having already won the opening Test by 104 runs, Bangladesh are now on the verge of completing a second consecutive Test series sweep over Pakistan.
