Kevin Pietersen: The former English player was kind enough to recall the Bangladeshi wicket-keeper who was wrongly given out.
During the match of the Road Safety World Series between England Legends and Bangladesh Legends in Raipur, England Legends captain Kevin Pietersen won respect from fans for his generous gesture on the field.
It all happened on the fourth delivery of the 12th over when Bangladesh wicket-keeper batsman Khaled Mashud was given out leg before the wicket against England spinner Chris Schofield.
Just as Mashud was walking back to the pavilion, he signaled to the umpire with respect to having played the ball on to his pad. In the absence of DRS, there was little that the right-hand batsman could’ve done about the situation.
However, it was at this point in time that Pietersen discussed the same with his teammates and decided to call Mashud back to bat again. Mashud, 45, eventually had to retire hurt for 31 (39) after what seemed like pulling a muscle on his arm. (Sports rush)
