Rawalpindi: Shakib Al Hasan is one of the cricketers around the world who is known for his controversial actions on the field. He lost his calm once again in the first Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh. Mohammed Rizwan was at the receiving end of his violent action this time around.
Bangladesh were in need of some quick wickets during Pakistan’s second innings and Shakib was bowling the 33rd over of the innings. Rizwan was on the strike and the left-arm spinner started loading run-up. However, the Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter was seen directing something in the field and it stopped the play for a few seconds. Shakib got angry at Rizwan for his time-wasting antics and hurled the ball at him.
The ball went over the head of the batter and the umpire schooled Shakib for his actions. The video went viral soon and the netizens bashed him for his behavior.
Ab bas #shakibalhassan ka ground pe murder karna baaki hai 😂
