Seeing Shakib’s misbehavior, the umpire left the umpiring, said – I have self-respect

A few days back, an embarrassing incident came to light in the cricket world in which former Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan was seen misbehaving with the umpire. In a match in the Dhaka Premier League, Shakib lost his cool while expressing displeasure against umpire Mahmudullah’s decision and kicked the wickets aggressively. Hurt by this incident, the TV umpire has decided to never officiate.

Shakib was bowling to the opposition batsman Mushfiqur Rahim while playing for Mohammadan Sporting Club during Bangladesh’s domestic league Dhaka Premier League a few days ago. A ball hit Rahim’s pad and he appealed for LBW, which was rejected by the umpire. Expressing displeasure over this decision, he first kicked the wicket and made the umpire bad. Not only this, he also uprooted the stump and threw it. After this incident, action was taken on Shakib on behalf of the board and he also apologized to the umpire as well as all the fans.

The TV umpire of that match has decided not to take the field again after this incident. He said, “Just no more it’s enough for me and now I don’t want to umpire anymore. I also have some self esteem and I want to live with it. Umpires can make mistakes but if we are like this with us. There is no reason to do it again. I don’t do this work just because of money.”

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.

Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”

Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
