Ever since DRS has made its way into the cricketing world, controversies have kept coming up every now and then. A few that question DRS’ existence and a few others that question its proper usage.
While all the previous controversies made some sense, this review by Soumya Sarkar surely stands far away from making any sense.
We all have witnessed batsmen getting disappointed with their dismissal and questioning the umpire’s decision. However, no batsman in his wildest dream would ever bother questioning the umpire after getting clean bowled. Yes, you’ve heard that right!
Bangladeshi batsman Soumya Sarkar used the DRS review after getting bowled in the second innings against Sri Lanka. This made all the players go ROFL on the field.
Here is the full video of Soumya Sarkar going up for a review after getting clean bowled in the second innings!

This was not the only incident however that left Bangladeshi fans embarrassed. Subhasis Roy’s premature celebrations added to the entertainment of the test match. He started celebrating without realising that the fielder had crossed the boundary line before completing the catch.
We hope Bangladeshi players realise that their bat is still a better tool of defending their wickets than the DRS system. Do let us know your views about this hilarious incident in our comments section below.
