Bangladeshi wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim got caught in a storm of controversies after the 33-year-old cricketer almost ended up hitting his Bangabandhu T20 Cup teammate Nasum Ahmed in a nail-bitting contest between Beximco Dhaka and Fortune Barishal. The ace wicketkeeper seemingly lost his cool when Nasum Ahmed nearly bumped into him while taking a catch behind the stumps. Mushfiqur Rahim certainly broke all the barriers of the gentlemen’s game and was on the receiving end of tons of criticism online as well.
Mushfiqur Rahim attempts to punch his teammate
Beximco Dhaka outplayed Fortune Barishal in the knockout stage of Bangabandhu T20 league. However, Dhaka’s skipper Mushfiqur Rahim became the bell of the ball with his below the belt stunt of trying to throw a punch on his own teammate.
Barishal’s Afif Hossain’s mistimed the ball which came crashing into Rahim’s gloves. At the same time, Nasum Ahmed came running for the catch and collided with Rahim, spoiling the almost perfect catch. Ahmed’s ignorant effort fumed the Dhaka’s skipper and the matter became obscene. Ahmed, on the other end, kept his cool and didn’t react to Rahim’s immature behavior. Dhaka’s teammates gathered around to calm down the matter and later celebrated the important wicket.
Watch the peculiar incident
Calm down, Rahim. Literally. What a chotu 🐯🔥

Netizens Slams Rahim
Rahim, however, was trolled massively on the social-media for his bizarre and unprofessional behavior. Rahim, who is a senior cricketer, seemingly lost his cool at the heat of the moment and ended up doing something regretful.
Grow up Mushi, literally.

Disciplinary action should be taken by the team.. sad to see people bringing their frustration out this way specially on the field.. Virat is turning out to be a bad example for them.. Gentlemen game is no more..
