However, his aggressive nature on the field has occasionally landed him in controversies.

Before a Dhaka Premier League 2024 match between Prime Bank Cricket Club and Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club at the Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium in Fatullah, Shakib was immersed in a serious discussion with the head coach of SJDC and former Bangladeshi cricketer, Sheikh Salahuddin, and other team members. In the midst of their conversation, a staff of the groundsmen, wearing a purple cap and a violet-coloured jersey came up to the group with his phone with the intention of capturing a selfie with the Bangladeshi icon. Not liking the manner in which he just interrupted the intense discourse going on, Shakib angrily tried snatching the fan's phone and also attempted to slap the fan who initially resisted getting hit and then went away beyond the boundary line to sit in the stands, visibly flabbergasted by the entire episode.
