Rahim did it not just once but twice.
The Eliminator game between Beximco Dhaka and Fortune Barishal was in the news a few days ago because of Mushfiqur Rahim’s angry gesture towards his teammate. The senior cricketer was criticized for reacting to a newbie and faced a lot of flak on social media. Rahim was angry with Nasum Ahmed for interfering in catching, but his reaction did not go down well with many.
Rather following the criticism, the wicketkeeper batsman had to Come out and apologize to the fans and also to Nasum Ahmed. Even the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) fined the veteran cricketer for his misconduct. Interestingly, it wasn’t the only time Mushfiqur Rahim pointed to Nasum. Even earlier in the innings, he did the same thing to the spinner with his left arm, and the video of the same has now surfaced on social media.
The incident occurred in the 13th round of the innings when Nasum Ahmed was in the middle of the second round of his spell. Afif Hossain came down the track to play the ball towards the free mid-wicket area and aimed at a pair. To keep the opposing batsmen from running two, both Mushfiqur Rahim and Nasum ran towards the ball, and the former succeeded in keeping them single.

Strange reaction from Mushfiqur Rahim
The Dhaka skipper then pointed at the batsmen as if he were throwing the ball and for some reason turned to the bowler Nasum and repeated the action as if he were about to hit him. Actions were similar to later on the 17th and it seemed like he wasn’t happy with the bowler himself.
