The Bangladesh women’s team captain, Nigar Sultana, has created a new controversy by dragging the Indian Women’s World Cup-winning captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, by taking a sharp dig. Her comments came while responding to the former pacer Jahanara Alam’s claims that she had hit and misbehaved with the junior players in the national team.
Sultana denied the allegations and used the moment to reference Harmanpreet’s infamous 2023 outburst during the Indian side’s trip to Bangladesh, where the Indian captain smashed the stumps with her bat after a leg before the wicket decision and publicly criticized the umpires, triggering a major controversy.

“Why would I hit anyone? I mean, why would I strike the stumps with my bat? Am I Harmanpreet, that I would go around hitting the stumps like that? Why would I do it? In my personal space, if I’m cooking or something, I might bang my bat around, I might hit my helmet — that’s my own business. But why would I do something like that to someone else? Why would I get physical? Just because someone says so?” Joty expressed in an interview with Daily Cricket.
Bangladesh captain slams Harmanpreet Kaur to create new controversy
In an old interview, it was claimed that the junior players were called to be beaten by Sultana, but the Bangladesh captain said that if that was the case, the players would have approached the team management. India recently earned the Women’s World Cup 2025 by beating South Africa in the final at the DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai.
“The way I’ve been described in front of everyone — I’m not that kind of girl at all. First, I heard that Jahanara apu has made an allegation about me, saying that someone called her in Australia and said, ‘Please save us, Jyoti apu is beating us and finishing us off.” Joty added.
“What I’m trying to say is: someone who hasn’t been here for six or seven years and has gone off to Australia — if I really beat someone or harmed someone in any way, is there no team management, no manager, no coaching staff? Am I the ultimate authority then?” Bangladesh captain shed light.
