Cricket matches often have fun moments, and here’s one from the ICC Menβs ODI World Cup 2023. Bangladesh’s wicketkeeper, Mushfiqur Rahim, made a playful joke about Angelo Mathews from Sri Lanka.
What Happened?
After Bangladesh won against Sri Lanka, Rahim put on a helmet and pretended there was something wrong with it. It was his way of teasing Mathews about a time when Mathews took too long to start playing because of a broken helmet strap.
Mathews’ Unlucky Moment
During the ICC World Cup 2023, Mathews took more than two minutes to start playing because of his helmet problem. The rules say players have to be ready to play within two minutes, so Mathews got “timed out,” making him the first player ever to get out this way.
The Fun Side of Cricket
This friendly teasing between Rahim and Mathews adds to the fun rivalry between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. It shows that even in serious games, players can have a laugh together.
Wrapping Up
In cricket, it’s not just about winning and losing; it’s also about having fun and enjoying the game. Moments like this one remind us of the lighter side of cricket and the friendships that can form between players from different teams. Let’s celebrate these moments and keep the spirit of cricket alive!
