BPL 2024 | Twitter reacts as Shohidul Islam recreates iconic Dhoni self-nutmeg to runout Evin Lewis

The right-arm quick was bowling to the newly arrived Evin Lewis in the ninth over when the Caribbean batter glanced a ball off his hip between short fine leg and deep square leg. However, while he was sprinting across the deck looking for ad double, Shai Hope at the other end was content with a single, something that Lewis only realized after he was more than halfway don the track in pursuit of the second run. Shahadat Hossain was quick to collect the ball and sling it towards the bowler's end and even though Lewis was a long way from the crease, the throw was directed at the bowler who was still in his backed up position a couple of foot away from the stumps. Unwilling to let the opportunity slip, Islam collected the Kookaburra off the half volley with bot his hands before immediately flicking it between his legs at the stumps.

The no-look through hit its target with aplomb and Lewis was comprehensively run-out, much to the jubilation of the Tigers and Twitterati who instantly compared it with MS Dhoni's similar trick in an IPL game for the Rising Pune Supergiants in 2017.
