Despite being well behind in the 2nd Test against Sri Lanka in Chattogram, Bangladesh fielders didn't cease to put full effort on day 3 of the match. With Prabhat Jayasuriya nicking one along the ground through the slip cordon, five fielders chased the ball to prevent it from going to the boundary.
The incident occurred in the 21st over of the innings as Hasan Mahmud delivered a length ball outside off-stump. With Jayasuriya getting a good bit of bat on it, five Bangladesh fielders ran full throttle to prevent the ball from reaching the boundary. As a result, fans trolled them for the same.
Here's how fans have reacted to Bangladesh's fielding effort:
