Mandhana Hits Back After Harmanpreet Kaur Accused Of Disrespecting The Bangladesh Captain And Players During The Post-Match Ceremony

Smriti Mandhana, the 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 during the game as well as her vehement remarks against the umpiring standards throughout the series were repeatedly directed at Mandhana.

Did Harmanpreet Kaur disrespect Bangladeshi players?

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,” albeit she acknowledged that it was perhaps not the ideal course of action in light of the game’s spirit.

What has Smriti Mandhana said regarding this?

“Both sides displayed excellent cricket. What took place in the middle is inherent to the game. Since we frequently watch men’s cricket, you are probably aware that similar situations occur in women’s cricket. She wasn’t too pleased with the decision 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.

“I wouldn’t say that is acceptable in 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, as Mandhana remarked in the post-match presentation following the third ODI, which ended in a stalemate because India’s lower order crumbled when chasing 225.
Mandhana was questioned by the reporters about 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.
