Bangladesh players allegedly broken dressing room door while celebrating victory
Colombo: It has been reported that while celebrating their win over Sri Lanka, a Bangladesh player allegedly broke the glass door. Bangladesh were chasing 160 for a place in the Nidahas Trophy semi-final and they won on the penultimate ball of the game.
But, the broken glass has thrown in more work for match referee Chris Broad. While he has seen the footage, he has also asked the ground staff to name the player who has done the damage. According to latest updates on the incident by espncricinfo, Broad said that the names taken by the catering staff cannot be understood as facts and he would need to look further into the footage from the outside looking in. The report adds that Bangladesh’s team management have offered to compensate for the damage caused.
During the virtual semifinal clash between the two teams, tempers flared on the field when Bangladesh required 12 runs off the last over. The first ball by Isuru Udana was a short-pitched delivery which was a dot ball. The second one, which was seemingly at a chest angle, created a stir after Bangladesh players demanded appealed for a no-ball, saying it was a bouncer. Mustafizur Rahman failed to connect any bat on the ball and was dismissed by a run-out, which caused the tensions to break out between Bangladesh sub-fielders and Sri Lanka fielders.
While Shakib Al-Hasan asked his players to come back to the pavilion, and threatened to stage a walk-off, the umpires came out in the middle to diffuse the tension. Luckily, common sense prevailed and the match continued.
Even after the winning six by Mahmudullah, that sealed the match in the visitors favour, there was little customary handshake as players continued to show anger. Kusal Mendis, who is known generally for his cool and calm behaviour, was seen arguing with Bangladesh players, but was controlled on the field by Tamim Iqbal.

Kanhaiya Kumar attacked while campaigning in Delhi
Kanhaiya Kumar, the Congress North East Delhi candidate, was slapped by a youth while campaigning on Friday (May 17). The video of the incident went viral.
Curiously, in a video that showed the attack on Kanhaiya, a person is heard saying that "Kanhaiya pitne waala hai" (Kanhaiya is going to be thrashed). Just after he says this, a youth in black T-shirt, with a garland in hands and on the pretext of placing it around Kanhaiya's neck, slaps Kanhaiya on the face.
Soon, the crowd present surrounds the man and he is thrashed by the people. There was also blood seen on the shirts of some people in the video. The extent of Kanhaiya's injury is not known as of now.
The attack on Congress leader Kanhaiya Kumar was pre-planned. The guy recording the video can be heard saying "Kanhaiya will be beaten up."

The faces of these goons are clearly visible in the video, will @DelhiPolice take any action or do these goons have political protection? pic.twitter.com/De9PoPjyfh
