NEW DELHI: There have been several broadcast blunders over the years, but this one will certainly stand out during the first Test between Pakistan and Bangladesh. During the opening Test in Dhaka, broadcasters mistakenly showed India’s scorecard instead of Pakistan’s Playing XI.The mistake occurred after Pakistan won the toss and chose to field at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium. While the broadcasters were supposed to show the Pakistan Playing XI, they mistakenly flashed the Indian scorecard with players like Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Tilak Varma, Shivam Dube, Jitesh Sharma, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh and Mukesh Kumar.
