Harmanpreet Kaur is charged with disrespecting the captain of Bangladesh

Smriti Mandhana, vice-captain of the India women’s team, did a great job of remaining composed and collected during the press conference following the dramatic draw in the third ODI against Bangladesh in Mirpur.

Questions about India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur’s actions during the game as well as her vehement remarks against the umpiring standards throughout the series were repeatedly directed at Mandhana. When India was chasing in the series finale, Harmanpreet Kaur was given out and used her bat to smash the stumps down. The India captain was seen gesturing furiously at the umpire after breaking the stumps in apparent dissatisfaction with the outcome.

Mandhana noted that Harmanpreet’s act was carried out in the “heat of the moment.” She acknowledged that it was perhaps not the ideal course of action in light of the game’s spirit.

“Both sides displayed excellent cricket. What took place in the midst is inherent to the game. Since we frequently watch men’s cricket, you are probably aware that similar situations occurring in women’s cricket are common. She wasn’t too pleased with the decision made because, when you want to play for India, you always want to win. She thought she had been abandoned, thus her outburst was a result of that.

Spirit of the game

“I wouldn’t say that is acceptable from the spirit of the game knowing Harman as a person and how much she wants to win, but it may happen. However, these things do occur when you genuinely want to win for India. Mandhana remarked in the post-match presentation following the third ODI, which ended in a stalemate. India’s lower order crumbled when chasing 225.

Mandhana was questioned by the reporters on Hamanpreet’s remarks during the post-game presentation. The on-field umpires, Muhammad Kamruzzaman and Tanvir Ahmed, who are both locals, received criticism from the India captain for their “pathetic” officiating.

Harmanpreet said, “They (Bangladesh) batted really well, batted according to the situation. They were taking those singles which were very crucial. In between, we leaked a few runs but we controlled the game very well when we were batting. As I mentioned earlier, some pathetic umpiring was done.

“We are really disappointed about some decisions given by the umpires,” said Harmanpreet.
