Shakib Al Hasan has been into hot topics before for his temper more than for his cricket. The Bangladeshi captain is often seen kicking stumps and releasing his frustration has once again found himself into controversy. He swiftly slapped one of his fans while in the polling station.
This incident happened just before winning the parliament elections, a video became viral in which Shakib can be seen slapping his fan.
The incident started when Shakib was accidentally pushed by his fan in the polling station where he had arrived to deliver his vote. In the viral video, Shakib’s reaction can’t be seen clearly.
Two days ago, another viral video showed Shakib seated on a stage and his fans were approaching him to take selfies while he seemed a bit irritated and had a lack of enthusiasm on his face. This suggested that he may not have been pleased by the constant interruptions for selfies by his fans.
On Sunday, Shakib had a victory in the parliamentary elections and secured a seat despite the opposition’s boycott. Well, for knowledge, Shakib is just 36 years old and an all-rounder who captains the national team.
He had a lead of about 150,000 votes in the Magura Constituency, as confirmed by Abu Naser Beg (The district’s chief administrator). He described his victory as a ‘Landslide Victory’.
Last year he achieved stardom with a notable fifty against India in the World cup, a victory celebrated by Bangladeshi fans. However, keeping his cricket achievements aside, he has a reputation for ill-discipline, which included threatening a spectator with a cricket bat resulting in a 3-match banning for an unfair gesture towards the television crew.
