Litton Das calls back Ish Sodhi after Hasan Mahmud ran him out 

It was the 4^th ball of the 46^th over with Hasan Mahmud bowling Kiwi skipper Ferguson. The Bangladeshi bowler spotted Ish Sodhi out of his crease. Hasan Mahmud was quick to whip the bails off and appealed. The umpires had no other choice but to give the batter out.

That’s when Ish Sodhi could be spotted giving a sarcastic clap. Bangladesh skipper Litton Das made his way to the umpire and called back the batter. Once called back, Ish Sodhi was seen giving the bowler a playful hug.
