Harmanpreet Kaur’s Dhaka outburst: what happened and what will be the repercussions
The HinduHarmanpreet Kaur wears her heart on her sleeve. Arguably one of India’s greatest women cricketers, her aggression on the field, her indomitable spirit, and her ability to lead fearlessly have earned Harmanpreet a huge fan following. The captain of the Indian women’s team is a role model to many aspiring young girls in the country, but her sullen behaviour during and after the tied third ODI against Bangladesh in Dhaka would have left her fans disappointed. During the prize distribution ceremony, Harmanpreet publicly criticised the umpires for ‘poor’ decisions and said: “A lot of learning from this game. The next time whenever we are coming to Bangladesh, we’ll have to make sure we have to deal with this kind of umpiring and accordingly we’ll have to prepare ourselves.” Both Captains pose with the trophy after an eventful and hard-fought three-match ODI series 👏🏻👏🏻#TeamIndia | #WIvINDpic.twitter.com/wSTV1s9qOP — BCCI Women July 22, 2023 In the past, there have been instances of players dissenting against umpire’s decisions, but not many have publicly criticised them.
