In a shocker, veteran Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has been caught losing his cool over the on-field umpire in the ongoing Dhaka Premier Division Twenty20 Cricket League 2021, kicking stumps andꦐ even uprooting them in frustration.
A couple of videos of Shakib losing his calm and kicking and uprooting stumps has gone viral on social media. In the first video, the 34-year-old, while representing Mohammedan Sporting Club in a match against Abahani Limited, appealed for an lbw against Mushfiqur Rahim.
But, ♋when the umpire refused to give it out, Shakib charged towards him and kicked the stumps with his left leg in frustration.
Here is the video:
Shit Shakib..! Y🍃ou ꦚcannot do this. YOU CANNOT DO THIS. It’s a shame.

In the other video, Shakib went a step ahead and uprooted all three stumps while arguing heavily with the umpire. However, it wasn’t clear from the video why the Magura-born argued with the umpire. Shakib just walked near the stumps while saying something to the umpire and deracinated the stumps.
Here is the video:
One more… Shakib completely lost his cool. Twice in a single game. Such a shame! Words fell short to describe these… Chih…

In the ⛦match, Shakib, the captain of Mohammedan, made a contribution of 37 runs from 27 deliveries as his team posted 145/6 on the scoreboard while batting first.
In response, Abahani reached 31/3 in 5.5 overs w𒆙hen rain stopped play. Shakib bowled only one over and conceded 10 runs without taking a wicket.
Now that the videos have gone viral, it would be interesting to see what disciplinary action Bangladesh will take for Shakib’s shocking behaviour on the field.
