10 most arrogant statements by cricketers

5) Sabbir Rahman- I am not thinking about 400, 500 runs. Even if they do score that much, we have the batsmen who have the ability to chase that down

This occurred way back in 2016. Bangladesh were all set to host England for an ODI series consisting of 3 matches. Sabbir had made a very confident statement which sounded less confident and more arrogant.

Bangladesh were going through a good phase in ODIs at home and had beaten Pakistan, India, and South Africa at their home post the 2015 World Cup. England were in superb form and were regularly scoring 350’s and 400’s at that time. Sabbir however felt that he and his team could chase even 500 against them. ” “A team is always strong at their home ground. So are we. England is doing well in England. When they come here, they will probably have to battle our spinners and they will need to survive that,”

“I am not thinking about 400, 500 runs. Even if they do score that much, we have the batsmen who have the ability to chase that down,” said Sabbir during an interview. He was heavily ridiculed for this statement and people made fun of him for being so overconfident. Various users on social media went on to troll him. Bangladesh went on to lose this series 2-1 to England.
