In one of the most bizarre incidents in cricket, Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal took one of the worst reviews in the history of the game during the second ODI against England in Dhaka on Friday, March 3.

The incident took place in the 48th over of England's innings off Taskin Ahmed’s bowling. The bowler looked certain that the ball hit the pads first and convinced Tamim to go for the review. Replays showed that the ball hit the middle of the bat.

The TV umpire didn’t even bother taking an ultra-edge as Adil Rashid middled it with the bat. The batter shook his head in absolute disbelief.

Fans mercilessly trolled the hosts for taking one of the worst reviews since the technology first came into existence in 2008.

One user wrote on Twitter:

"That review was so bad it should come with penalty runs."
That review was so bad it should come with penalty runs #bbccricket #BANvsENG

Another user shared a hilarious meme that read:

"Itna galat kaise ho sakte hai bhai (How can you be so wrong brother?)
