World Cup-winning cricketer Madan Lal has come down heavily on Indian Women's captain Harmanpreet Kaur for her recent actions during and after the thrilling tied ODI against Bangladesh.
Kaur smashed his stumps and argued with the on-field umpire after she was adjudged leg-before-wicket.
She didn't just stop there as she went on to taunt the interviewer and the Bangladeshi skipper regarding the poor umpiring calls at the post-match presentation ceremony.
Harman's actions have attracted a lot of criticism from all corners of the cricketing world.
The latest to join the bandwagon is the 1983 World Cup-winning medium pacer Madan Lal, who took to his Twitter account on Monday to criticize Kaur's behaviour, while also urging the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to take strong action against her.
"Harmanpreet’s behaviour against the Bangladesh women’s team was pathetic. She is not bigger than the game. She got a very bad name for Indian cricket. BCCI should take very strict disciplinary action," wrote Madan Lal on his Twitter account.
Meanwhile, Harmanpreet is set to be fined 75 percent of her match fee and 4 demerit points for her inappropriate behaviour.
Chasing 226, India Women looked to be in a cruise mode after Smriti Mandhana and Harleen Deol posted their respective half-centuries before a familiar collapse-aided by some poor umpiring decisions came back to haunt them.
As a result, the game ended in a tie and the series at a 1-1 deadlock.
