Harman Preet Kaur Slams 'Pathetic' Umpiring, Bangladesh Media Criticizes India Captain's Behavior

India women's captain Harmanpreet Kaur was involved in a heated exchange with the umpires after being adjudged leg-before wicket during the third ODI against Bangladesh on Saturday.

Kaur was dismissed for 26 off 31 balls, and she was visibly upset with the decision. She broke the stumps in disgust and termed the umpiring "pathetic" at the post-match presentation.

Bangladesh news outlets questioned Kaur's behavior and also spoke about what could be the punishment for the Indian captain.

One news outlet said that Kaur's behavior was "unbecoming of a captain" and that she should be fined for her actions. Another outlet said that Kaur's outburst was "disappointing" and that it showed a lack of sportsmanship.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has not yet commented on the incident.

Here is a more detailed account of what happened:

Kaur was batting on 26 off 31 balls when she was given out leg-before wicket off a delivery from Nahida Akter. She immediately turned to the umpires and argued that the ball had hit her bat first. The umpires did not change their decision, and Kaur walked off the field in disgust.

After the match, Kaur was asked about the incident. She said that she was "disappointed" with the decision and that she felt the umpires had "not given her the benefit of the doubt." She also said that she had broken the stumps because she was "frustrated" with the decision.

Kaur's behavior has been criticized by some in the Bangladesh media. One news outlet said that her behavior was "unbecoming of a captain" and that she should be fined for her actions. Another outlet said that her outburst was "disappointing" and that it showed a lack of sportsmanship.

The ICC has not yet commented on the incident. It is unclear whether Kaur will face any disciplinary action from the ICC.

It is important to note that umpires are human beings and they make mistakes. It is also important to remember that cricket is a passionate sport, and emotions can run high during matches. However, Kaur's behavior was clearly unprofessional, and she should be held accountable for her actions.
