The incident happened in the seventh over of Bangladesh’s innings, just before rain stopped play, when their opener Liton Das played the ball towards deep point and scored two runs. As Arshdeep Singh threw the ball back, Kohli, standing on point, performed a throw while the ball was still in the air and in the path of the wicketkeeper.

kohli: Bangladesh accuse Kohli of ‘fake fielding’
Bangladesh has blamed “fake fielding” by India’s Virat Kohli for the Twenty20 World Cup loss and will take it up with cricket’s governing body, an official told AFP on Thursday. India registered a five-run win in a rain-hit Adelaide match on Wednesday that went down to the last ball but destroyed Bangladesh’s hopes of reaching the semi-finals for the first time.

Later, vice-captain N Urul Hasan alleged that the on-field umpire had missed a “fake throw” by Kohli that could have tied the match. “We all saw it was a wet field,” Nurul said. “After all, when we talk about these things, there was also a fake throw. It could have been a five-run penalty. That too could have gone in our favor, but unfortunately that too could not happen.”
The incident happened in the seventh over of Bangladesh’s innings, moments before the rain stopped, when Liton Das played a delivery from Axar Patel towards the deep off-side field. As Arshdeep Singh threw the ball back, Kohli – standing on point – performed a throw as the ball whistled past him. A Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) official told AFP that the umpires did not act despite signals from Liton and non-strike batsman Najmul Hossain.
BCB’s head of cricket operations Jalal Younis told AFP that the International Cricket Council is scheduled to hold a board meeting in Melbourne next week during the tournament and Bangladesh will take up the matter. “Wherever we get a chance to discuss, we will discuss the issues,” he said. “It’s not a protest because there’s no use doing it now.”
Younis also said that Bangladesh’s chances in the match were curtailed by a slippery pitch after the resumption, which stalled the pace of the openers after Liton’s 21-ball half-century. The game resumed after a gap of 45 minutes and Bangladesh were given a revised target of 151 runs in 16 overs. After the stoppage, Liton slipped to score a second run on the second ball and then was run out for 60 runs off 27 balls. Bangladesh fell to 145/6 to admit a narrow defeat.
