Cricket is often referred to as the 'gentleman's game', embodying principles of fair play, sportsmanship, and respect for opponents. This mutual respect extends to both fans and players alike. However, what occurs when a fan oversteps boundaries?
A video circulating on X platform captures Bangladeshi cricketer Shakib Al Hassan in a controversial altercation with a fan seeking a selfie. The footage depicts the fan approaching Hassan while he is engaged in conversation with his teammates. Despite Hassan's initial gesture for the fan to refrain from taking a selfie, the individual persists, provoking Hassan's anger.
In a moment of frustration, Hassan physically intervenes by grabbing the fan by the neck and nearly pushing him off the field.
