What is the whole matter?

After playing a shot, instead of returning to the crease, Salman picked up the ball and tried to return it to bowler Mehdi Hasan Miraj. At that time he was out of the crease and Miraj himself was fielding the ball. Then the Bangladesh captain hit the ball on the stump and appealed for run-out. After which the umpire declared him out.

Agha looked quite angry after being given out. He argued with the Bangladeshi captain and umpire and while returning to the pavilion, he even threw his kit bag on the ground in anger. However, Pakistan won the match by 128 runs.
