Shakib Al Hasan and controversy have become almost synonymous in recent times. On Tuesday, the Bangladesh all-rounder's temper once again took center stage during a Bangladesh Premier League match between Fortune Barishal and Rangpur Riders. Just before the start of the second innings, Shakib stormed onto the field, creating a stir among the spectators.
After restricting Riders to 158, Barishal's openers Chaturanga de Silva and Anamul Haque strode to the crease to begin the chase. However, before the innings could start, Shakib seemed agitated while standing near the boundary. It appeared that Shakib wanted Anamul to take the strike, though the exact reason for his agitation remained a mystery.
Soon after, Shakib stormed onto the field in frustration and had an animated discussion with both the umpires. The opposing team's captain also got involved and after a heated minute-long exchange, the all-rounder returned to the dugout.
