Watch: Shakib calls back Rahmat Shah after third umpire incorrectly gives him out

Cricket is called a gentleman's game, and players prove it time and again why that is. The game is even more fun to watch if the players have a good spirit of the game. In a recent incident, Shakib al Hasan showed what sportsmanship is all about.

Shakib al Hasan called back Rahmat Shah in the second ODI between Bangladesh and Afghanistan after the third umpire incorrectly pronounced him out. The ball had not touched Shakib's hand before hitting the stumps during a run-out situation. However, the third umpire called him out. Shakib al Hasan summoned the batter back after a brief chat with skipper Tamim Iqbal.

Shakib Al Hasan says he did not touch this but the third umpire makes the decision that he did. Tamim Iqbal discusses with his team and they tell the umpires to reverse their decision. Not out is the final call.
