New Delhi: In the T20 World Cup 2022, once again the case of poor umpiring has come to the fore. This time Bangladesh’s captain Shakib Al Hasan has been the victim. Due to poor umpiring, he had to return to the pavilion without opening the account. This case is about the match between Pakistan and Bangladesh (PAK vs BAN) played on Sunday. Since then, this umpiring is being fiercely criticized on social media.
There was a lot of controversy over the dismissal of Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan in the match played against Pakistan in Adelaide on Sunday. Shadab Khan of Pakistan was bowling at that time. Shakib was out LBW on his very first ball in this match. Although he was not out, he had to return to the pavilion due to poor umpiring.

Shakib was dismissed by the third umpire after seeing it in the review. Actually, the umpire present in the field gave Shakib out, after which he took DRS. But, then the third umpire also gave him out. Since then there has been a lot of uproar. By sharing the video and some photos of Bangladeshi fans review, wanted to tell that Shakib was not out. The ball had also hit the bat before hitting Shakib’s pad. Whereas the third umpire found that the bat was on the ground, so the ultra edge is visible.
When is a nick not a nick? How can a third umpire having benefit of technology, replays and time get it so wrong and give @sah75official out. This is NOT human error. Appling. @ICC #T20WorldCup2022 #BANvsPAK pic.twitter.com/XjqZzU7E0Z

Not only this, after this, users on social media also started calling Pakistan a cheater. This trend is also coming on Twitter. Along with this, veterans of the sports world have also given their opinion on that issue. In which former India cricketer Aakash Chopra is also involved.
Shakib’s bat didn’t touch the ground at all. Just focus on bat’s shadow. There was a spike. It couldn’t have been anything else except the ball hitting the bat. Bangladesh at the receiving end of a poor umpiring decision. #PakvBan #T20WorldCup
