The veteran cricketer recently played for the Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club (SJDC) in the Dhaka Premier League (DPL) 2024. The incident occurred before the SJDC's match against Prime Bank Cricket Club on Monday in Fatullah.

Before the toss, while the cricketer was in serious discussions with head coach Sheikh Salahuddin and other team members, a fan entered the ground and tried to take a selfie with Hasan. Irritated by the interruption, Shakib attempted to snatch away the fan's phone and gestured as if to beat him. The unexpected reaction from the cricketer surprised and shocked the fan. 

His unexpected reaction to the fan received criticism on social media, with a few users declaring the Bangladeshi cricketer ‘arrogant’.

“The worst ever star in cricket history,” wrote an X user.

“Achievements nothing.. attitude humongous,” wrote another user.

This is not the first time when a fan has experienced his rude behaviour. The cricketer-turned-politician slapped a fan in January this year during elections in Bangladesh. The incident took place when Hasan went to the polling station to vote. A large crowd surrounded him, given his celebrity status. As he was getting pushed by the crowd, Shakib turned around and slapped the man.
