Controversies

In 2015 while batting in the BPL tournament, Imrul was intentionally shoved by T. Dilshan, thus preventing him from running down the crease. However, the batsman on the other end was unaware of this fact and he ran for a run, hence both the batsman resulting on the same side of the crease. The matter was further taken to the third umpire, who upon review, declared the batsman NOT OUT and awarded 5 runs to the batting team as a penalty.
