HARMANPREET Kaur’s outrage at the umpires after a tied India, Bangladesh ODI series final has earned her criticism from all corners. Harmanpreet was furious after she was given out LBW despite hinting that she had hit the ball. The Indian captain lost his cool on the field and shattered the stumps with her bat.
later, Harmanpreet Kaur went on a rage against the umpires in the post-match presentation and said that the next time team India will come to Bangladesh, they will prepare for the umpires as well. Harmanpreet did not stop here and made objectional remarks about the Bangladesh team.
During the trophy-sharing photoshoot, Harmanpreet asked Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana to call the umpires as well. “Why you are only here? You haven’t tied the match. The umpires did it for you. Call them up! We better have photo with them as well,” said Harmanpreet Kaur.
The Bangladesh captain was upset with Harmanpreet Kaur’s behaviour and walked off with her team.
Nigar Sultana was not happy with Harmanpreet Kaur’s behavior and said that the India captain should have shown better manners.
“It is totally her (Harmanpreet’s) problem. I have nothing to do with it,” Nigar said in the press conference. “As a player, she could have shown better manners. I can’t tell you what happened, but it didn’t feel right to be there [for the photograph] with my team. It wasn’t the right environment. That’s why we went back. Cricket is a game of discipline and respect.”
