Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan stirred controversy by slapping a fan, an incident captured in a viral video causing shock on social media.

The video shows Shakib surrounded by fans seeking selfies, with the cricketer losing his temper and delivering a hard slap to one.

 Known for his on-field anger, Shakib has faced previous controversies, including timing out a batsman during the 2023 World Cup.

The slapping incident allegedly occurred at a polling booth where Shakib was casting his vote.

While criticism mounts, some defend Shakib, and reports indicate he plans to continue his cricket career despite winning a Parliament seat.

The Bangladesh cricket team captain won his seat for Sheikh Hasina's party in a landslide, local officials said.
