Shakib Al Hasan charges at umpire in anger amid furious argument [WATCH]
Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is well known for venting out his frustration on the field, especially at umpires. On many occasions, Shakib has been seen losing his cool during cricket matches, more so in the domestic cricket.
The same happened once again as Shakib charged at the leg-umpire over a wide-ball decision. Dissatisfied with the call not going in his favour, Shakib was seen shouting at the umpire, and now the video of the incident has gone viral.
The all-rounder had publicly spoken about his annoyance at how the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) is being managed. Not long ago, Shakib had even said that it wouldn't take him long to fix things, if he was made in charge.
During a match, a bouncer went past Shakib but wasn't given a wide. Furious over the umpire’s decision, Shakib shouted at the umpire and charged at him for the decision. The umpire reportedly said that the delivery was fair and was the first bouncer of the over.
Shakib even charged toward the umpire at the bowler's end and had a few words before going back to his crease.
Here's the viral video:

Previously in the Dhaka Premier League, Shakib had lost his cool to the extent that he uprooted the stumps and smashed them on the ground in frustration at an umpiring decision. Later, Shakib decided to apologise.
"I am extremely sorry for losing my temper and ruining the match for everyone and especially those who are watching from home. An experienced player like me should not have reacted that way but sometimes against all odds it happens unfortunately," Shakib had said back then.
As for the BPL match, Shakib scored 67 runs as his side Fortune Barishal lost to Sylhet Strikers.
