Watch: Bangladesh star Mushfiqur Rahim joins the rare list of cricketers as he gets out for handling the ball.
On Wednesday, the player of Bangladesh cricket team Mushfiqur Rahim became the victim of a rare dismissal during the first day of the second Test against New Zealand. The wicketkeeper batter, used to using his hands while standing around the stumps, was dismissed for handling the ball during an over from New Zealand's Kyle Jamieson. In the process, Rahim became the first player ever from Bangladesh to have been dismissed in this fashion. He joined the rare list of cricketers, including the likes of Mohinder Amarnath, Mohsin Khan, Michael Vaughan, etc., to have been dismissed in this manner.
Not many cricketers in international cricket have been dismissed while handling the ball. Rahim became the 11th player to have been sent back to the dressing room for using his hands while a delivery was not dead.

Rahim had scored 35 runs from 83 balls before he was forced to return to the pavilion for a rare reason.
