Players expressing dissatisfaction to umpires' decisions on the field isn't a new thing but what Harmanpreet Kaur did in the tied third ODI against Bangladesh crossed a few lines. From the act of shattering her stumps to calling the umpires for end-of-series photographs with the team, the India skipper's antics became a hot topic of discussion in the cricketing spectrum. Even former India captain Diana Edulji slammed Harmanpreet's actions, suggesting it was probably because of her poor form with the bat that Harmanpreet lost her cool in the manner she did.
Indian women's cricket team captain Harmanpreet Kaur's scathing criticism of the umpires in the tied third ODI against Bangladesh has put her in the spotlight.

Though the sanctions that Harmanpreet is to face haven't been announced yet, either by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) or the International Cricket Council (ICC), reports suggest that a hefty penalty could be coming.
Indian women's team captain Harmanpreet Kaur could well miss first two games in the upcoming Hangzhou Asian Games on charges of equipment abuse and public criticism of match officials after the tied third ODI against Bangladesh on Saturday.
