NZ vs BAN | Twitter reacts to Mehidy forcing Shakib to blatantly waste a review

In their pursuit of 246, New Zealand encountered an early setback in the form of newly instated opener Rachin Ravindra. Subsequently, Kane Williamson and Devon Conway orchestrated a steady partnership to steady the innings, guiding them to a score of 37/1 at the end of the powerplay. Bangladesh were evidently hungry for wickets and the pressure led them to making an DRS call in hopes of getting rid of Conway, costing them a potentially invaluable review.
Taskin Ahmed bowled a short ball down the leg side on the fifth ball of the 13th over to which Conway attempted a glance but couldn't connect. The ball was subsequently declared a wide by the umpire amidst an unenthusiastic appeal for caught behind. An interesting turn of events occurred thereon as Mehidy Hasan, fielding at backward point, insisted he heard a noise. Taskin was somewhat uncertain while wicket-keeper Mushfiqur Rahim showed no interest. Nevertheless, Mehidy’s conviction coupled with Taskin’s indecisiveness compelled a reluctant Shakib Al Hasan to request a review. However, UltraEdge showed a flat line, indicating a clear gap between the bat and glove.
The Tigers’ captain's unconvincing and hesitant reaction to the review unsurprisingly stirred up a flurry of reactions on Twitter.
Worst review award goes to!

What an explaination!
He lives in the noisiest city in India, he hears sounds all the time. This is very plausible explanation for why Bangladesh fielders took review. 😂😂😂😂

What a joke !
Shakid LOL xd xd
Shakib seemed uninterested, Keeper Mushfiq appeared uncertain, but Miraz stepped up with a confident 'নেন ভাই নেন (Review)' meaning 'Take the review.' Unfortunately, Bangladesh lost their review. 🏏😔
