Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan loses his cool, beats up fan during an event- WATCH

Bangladesh’s T20I skipper Shakib Al Hasan yet again became the talk of the town for the cricketing world for controversial reasons. In a video currently going viral on social media, the star all-rounder can be seen beating up a fan with a cap. In the footage, Shakib can be seen making his way through a heavy crowd in Chattogram, before losing his cool.

The 35-year-old was infuriated when the individual in question removed the cap from Shakib’s head. After snatching the cap back from the fan’s hand, Shakib beat him up mercilessly while the crowd went wild. Here’s a look at the viral video.

This is not the first time Shakib has made headlines for unfavorable reasons. Time and again, the cricketer finds himself in shallow waters as he is also seen clashing with the umpires. Last month, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hassan confirmed a rift between Shakib and Tamim Iqbal, who are two of the top cricketers of the Bangladesh cricket team.
