5 instances when Shakib Al Hasan lost his temper on field
Shakib Al Hasan's career is rife with controversies alongside his achievements.
3. Alleged altercation with fan, 2014
The animated all-rounder allegedly physically assaulted a spectator during the ODI series against India at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur. Apparently, the fan was harassing Shakib's wife in the VIP box, which irked the cricketer and he approached him amid rain break.
After India won the match easily by seven wickets, Shakib attended the BCB hearing over the controversy. He admitted to being present in the stands but revealed he didn’t assault anyone. Also, the southpaw said that he didn’t know about the rule of not leaving the dressing room during an international game.
The man in question was arrested but was soon granted bail as well. However, Shakib continued to pursue the case and wanted to set an example for the eve-teasers, who have risen in the country. The BCB in its final decision banned Shakib for six months from all forms of cricket, due to indiscipline. The punishment was also handed to him due to his misbehaviour with Bangladesh's then new coach Chandika Hathurusingha.
