Shakib booed by fans at Eden Gardens

Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan was jeered by the fans at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata after his horrendous display with both bat and the ball against the Netherlands during the ICC Cricket World Cup match on Saturday. 

Shakib was back in the pavilion in a 14-ball 5 run innings, after getting caught off by pacer Paul van Meekeren, as Bangladesh drooped to 63-4 in 16 overs, chasing 230.

As he was strolling back to the dressing room, the Bangladesh fans at the Club House end begun booing the team's captain.

The all-rounder had as of late turned many heads when he returned to Dhaka for a two-day trip to work on his batting, whereas the rest of the group voyaged to Kolkata from Pune after enduring their fourth straight defeat in the competition. 

Shakib worked with coach Najmul Abedeen Fahim for two days in Miprur and then joined the group on Thursday night.

But his preparing sessions in Mirpur seemingly made no contrast as he got caught attempting to cut a ball from a pacer, a mode of rejection that has ended up commonplace for him in recent times.
