Najmul Hossain Shanto's century party took a comic turn during the first Test match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka at the Galle International Stadium. Just as Shanto lifted his bat to celebrate a gritted hundred, a throw from a fielder from the deep flew straight towards his body line. In a shocking moment, Shanto had to jump over the batted ball coming towards him in order not to get hit, halting his celebration halfway. The clumsy but funny moment left commentators in stitches and fans posting the video on social media. Although it had interrupted his celebration, it definitely provided a humorous touch to the game.
