In the second T20I between India and Bangladesh, played in Delhi, India showcased a dominant performance, clinching the series with an 86-run victory. While India’s all-round dominance was evident, a humorous moment between Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag caught everyone’s attention during the Bangladesh innings. Samson’s words of encouragement to Parag, in Bengali, seemed to spark a breakthrough, leading to the dismissal of Mehidy Hasan Miraz.
Samson’s Bengali Boost to Parag
Wicketkeeper Sanju Samson, known for his calm and composed demeanour, surprised viewers by encouraging his teammate, Riyan Parag, in Bengali.
After Mahmudullah took a single off Parag’s fifth ball in the 11th over, Samson was heard saying, “Khub bhalo!”—which translates to “very good.”
Commentator Sunil Gavaskar highlighted this on air, adding a humorous touch by saying Samson was showing off his Bengali language skills.
As luck would have it, on the very next ball, Parag dismissed Mehidy Hasan Miraz.
Miraz, attempting to charge down the pitch before Parag had even released the ball, ended up hitting a wide delivery straight to Ravi Bishnoi at long-off.
Parag roared in celebration as Samson’s well-timed words seemed to work wonders.
