Bangladesh Cricket Captain Shakib Al Hasan Attacked Mob: Fact or Fiction?
The latest viral video circulating on social media has shown Bangladesh skipper, Shakib Al Hasan, being aggressively surrounded and manhandled a group of individuals. The video immediately raised questions and concerns about the safety of the cricketer in his home country.
Many speculated that the incident was a result of frustrations from Bangladeshi fans following the national team’s disappointing performance at the 2023 Cricket World Cup, where they finished 8th on the points table. Additionally, Bangladesh missed out on a direct qualification spot for the Champions Trophy 2025 in Pakistan.
However, it has now been clarified that the video circulating is not a recent incident. It was actually from March 16, 2023, and not a new development as many initially believed.
Despite the misleading information about the recent incident, it is evident that Shakib Al Hasan has been facing challenges both on and off the cricket field. The 36-year-old cricketer has announced his involvement in politics and has joined the ruling party in Bangladesh. This move signals a clear indication that he is already preparing for a future beyond cricket.
In light of these events, it remains to be seen how Shakib Al Hasan will navigate his career and personal life amidst these challenges.
