It led to a verbal confrontation between the players.
During the ongoing WI vs BAN ODI series, Bangladesh pacer Tanzim Hasan Sakib managed to offend Windies batsman Brandon King in the same way he irritated Indian star Virat Kohli in the T20 World Cup 2024 earlier of this year.
What happened between Kohli and Tanzim was that the latter bid a fiery farewell with an aggressive celebration after bowling it cleanly.
Similarly, during the second WI vs BAN game, Sakib was unable to control his aggression and tried to annoy Brandon by throwing the ball at him.
The incident occurred in the final delivery of the sixth over. It was a long ball, which King drove straight toward the pitcher. Sakib picked up the ball and aimed a shot at the striker’s end, hitting the batsman in the process. Interestingly, Sakib also appealed for field obstruction, although King was in his area.
This sequence of events led to a confrontation between the two players, causing the referees to intervene. After addressing both cricketers, the situation was brought under control and play resumed.
