India and Bangladesh played a humdinger of a clash in the Super 12 round of the T20 World Cup on Wednesday (November 02) at the Adelaide Oval, Adelaide. Being asked to bat first, Rohit Sharma-led India posted 184 for 6 riding on half-centuries from KL Rahul (50) and in-form batter Virat Kohli (44-ball 64*). In reply, Litton Das came out all guns blazing and took the Bangla Tigers to 66 for no loss in seven overs when rain made its presence felt.&nbsp;After the rain break, the revised target was 151 in 16 overs with Bangladesh still ahead of India. However, wickets fell at regular intervals and the Shakib Al Hasan-led side eventually managed 146-5, falling short by five runs (DLS method). However, a controversy erupted after the clash, which was an action-packed affair from the word go.&nbsp;

Nurul Hasan, who remained unbeaten on 25 along with Taskin Ahmed, has accused Kohli of fake fielding. The incident he was referring to happened in the seventh over when Litton Das played the ball towards the deep off Axar Patel and Arshdeep Singh collected it and threw it at the striker's end. Amid Arshdeep's throw, it appeared as if Kohli was relaying a throw from the deep. However, no one noticed it and proceedings carried on uninterrupted.

After the match, Hasan said at the post-match presser, "Certainly, the field was wet and it had an impact and everyone saw that and eventually, what I felt is that when we were talking there was a fake throw and it could have been a five-run penalty and that could have gone our way, but unfortunately, even that didn't come."

EXPLAINED: What is fake fielding and the penalty for it?

It is to be noted that Law 41.5, which pertains to unfair play, prohibits the "deliberate distraction, deception or obstruction of [the] batter". If the umpire feels there was a breach of the law, then he/she can call for a dead ball and award as many as five runs to the batting side."

Eventually, Bangladesh lost by five runs. However, it must be pointed out that Kohli's antics were towards the non-striker's end (at Najmul Shanton's side, and that too, when the ball had almost crossed him) whereas Arshdeep threw at the opposite end.&nbsp;As per the law, it is all up to the umpires and they didn't feel anything suspicious and, hence, Bangladesh wasn't awarded five runs on penalty.&nbsp;

India will now play Zimbabwe, at the MCG Melbourne on Sunday (November 06). In contrast, Bangladesh will meet Pakistan in their last group stage clash, on the same day at the Adelaide Oval, Adelaide.

T20 World Cup 2022: Controversy erupts! Bangladesh's Nurul Hasan accuses Virat Kohli of fake fielding

On Wednesday (November 02), Rohit Sharma-led India beat Bangladesh by five runs, DLS method, to win their third game in the Super 12 round of the T20 World Cup in Australia. Being asked to bat first, India rode on fifties from KL Rahul (50) and Virat Kohli's unbeaten 64 to post a competitive 184-6. In reply, a brief rain break revised Bangla Tigers' target to 151 in 16 overs and they eventually managed 145-6.&nbsp;

During Bangladesh's run-chase, Virat Kohli made heads turn as it seemed he tried a fake fielding act during Litton Das-Najmul Shanton's opening stand. The incident took place in the seventh over and was later pointed out by keeper-batter Nurul Hasan (in post-match PC). Had Kohli been found guilty, India would've been penalised five runs -- which turned out to be the difference between both sides.&nbsp;

Bangladesh isn't letting go of the incident and Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is set to raise the fake fielding issue in a 'proper forum'. BCB cricket operations chairman Jalal Yunus has claimed that captain Shakib spoke at length regarding the fake fielding issue and wet outfield with umpire Marais Erasmus and they plan to take up the issue going ahead.&nbsp;

"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 Yunus said as per a report in Cricbuzz.&nbsp;

"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 further pointed out.

T20 World Cup: BCB to take up Virat Kohli's fake fielding issue in 'proper forum'

Recently, the&nbsp;New Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) has announced its new code of Laws for 2022, which will come into force from October 1. Among the new code of laws introduced, one significant change that is set to come into play is that the controversial mode of dismissal, i.e. Mankading has been&nbsp;moved from 'unfair play' section to 'run out'.

One of the advocates of the controversial dismissal, R Ashwin has now finally opened up on the significant change brought forward by the MCC. For the unversed, the 35-year-old wily off-spinner had mankaded Jos Buttler during IPL 2019 edition, leading to a huge debate on the controversial mode of dismissal. Now, Ashwin has shared his reaction and also has an important message for the bowlers.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Ashwin said, "Non-striker leaving the crease early is the actual unfair play in this whole scenario. Not the bowler running them out."

“Earlier, it was termed a Mankad. But it has been changed now to run out. They (MCC) have destigmatized the entire concept and have termed it run-out law. The bowler was earlier expected to give a warning when the batsman leaves the crease at the non-striker's end. Now they have announced that what the non-striker is doing is wrong and, therefore, bowlers can actually run them out if the non-striker tries to leave the crease before the ball is delivered by the bowler. Bowlers used to feel bad about doing this, wondering how our team batsman would feel and what the cricketing world would think if we did it. Thinking about these consequences, they used to not run them out," he further pointed out.

Ashwin asserted, "the extra step the non-striker is taking might end up destroying your entire career. If the non-striker ends up on strike because of that extra step he is taking, he might smash a six, whereas the current striker might have gotten out. So, if you take a wicket, your career will advance, whereas if you are smashed for a six, your career may suffer. The impact is huge. So, the bowlers should not have any second thoughts on running the non-striker out, in my opinion," he added.

It is to be noted that Ashwin is gearing up for the forthcoming IPL 2022 edition, where he will team up with Buttler -- whom he had mankaded -- in the Rajasthan Royals (RR) camp.&nbsp;
