T20 World Cup: That 1-run defeat against India had badly broken the Bangladeshi players, that wound hurts even today.

News India Live, Digital Desk: Victory and defeat on the cricket field are a part of the game, but there are some defeats which remain like a deep wound in the hearts of the players for years. The match played between India and Bangladesh at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru in the 2016 T20 World Cup still gives goosebumps to the fans. Recently, Bangladeshi players recalled that ‘painful’ night and told how the entire team cried bitterly. The game slipped after coming close to victory. In that match, Bangladesh needed only 2 runs from the last 3 balls to win. Experienced batsmen like Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah were present at the crease. Mushfiqur hit two consecutive fours and started celebrating prematurely. But the next three balls changed history: Fourth ball: Mushfiqur Rahim caught out. Fifth ball: Mahmudullah Riyad caught out. Sixth ball: MS Dhoni’s historic run-out, which gave India a thrilling win by 1 run. Mourning-like silence in the dressing room. Bangladesh’s legendary all-rounder Mahmudullah recently shared that the entire team was heartbroken after that defeat. He told, “After the match, we all were not able to see each other’s faces in the dressing room. Many players were sitting on the floor and crying. That night was the longest and darkest night of our career.” For Mushfiqur Rahim, that moment was even heavier. There were tears in his eyes and he was considering himself responsible for this defeat. ‘The defeat that still scares’ Cricket experts believe that that one-run defeat affected the confidence of the Bangladeshi team for years. Mahmudullah admitted that after that incident, he felt afraid for a long time in finishing close matches. Why was that run-out of Dhoni special? When Mustafizur Rahman was running on the last ball of the match, captain MS Dhoni took off his gloves, took the ball in his hand and ran with the agility of a leopard and scattered the wickets. As soon as the third umpire’s decision came, celebrations started in India, while the Bangladeshi camp sat on the field.
