India’s Harmanpreet Kaur misbehaves with umpire. After the third Women’s ODI against Bangladesh ended in a tie, videos of India captain Harmanpreet Kaur making offensive gestures and making debatable comments about umpires have gone viral.
In the 34th over, spinner Nahida Akter delivered a delivery that the right-handed batter attempted to sweep. The ball, however, struck her pad and fell into the first slip’s hands. LBW was given to her.
Instead of acting with sportsmanship in response to the umpire’s decision, the 34-year-old destroyed the stumps with her bat.

She said, “I think there was a lot of learning for us from the game.” “Even outside of the cricket, we were very surprised by the type of umpiring that was occurring. We’ll make sure this type of umpiring is present the next time we visit Bangladesh and we’ll be ready for it.
Second Test, Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat
“They (Bangladesh) batted really well, batted appropriately,” the batter continued. The singles that were most important were being taken by them. While we were batting, we controlled the game very well despite a few runs that we let in between. However, as I mentioned earlier, some pathetic umpiring was displayed, and we are extremely disappointed by some of their decisions.
