Yesterday was the day of celebration for Indian fans as India won the Asia Cup by defeating Bangladesh by 3 wickets. Despite the fact that India won the finals, the Bangladeshi team needs to be praised for the efforts that they made for giving tough competition to the Indian team. The Bangladeshi bowlers did a great job in defending a small total of 222 and they didn’t let the Indian team win the match till the last ball of the innings.
Bangladesh had a good start as Liton Das scored a century and also added 120 runs as first wicket partnership with Mehidy Hasan Miraz. However, the middle order of the Bangladeshi team was not able to do much and the whole team got out at 222 runs. Liton Das’ dismissal was a huge setback for team Bangladesh and soon after he got out, Bangladeshi fans started accusing BCCI of cheating in the match.
When Liton was batting at the score of 121, while trying to play Kuldeep’s delivery, Liton’s foot went out the crease and Dhoni removed the bails with a lightning speed. The appeal was referred to the Third Umpire as it was a close call. The decision was tough one as Liton’s foot was on the crease while the bails were removed but the Third Umpire gave the decision as out. He was given out because as per the rules, batsman’s bat or any body part should be behind the line of crease while stumping.
The decision didn’t go well with the Bangladeshi fans and they called it a case of cheating. They started expressing their anger on Twitter and went to the extent of saying that ICC is Indian Cricket Council and not International Cricket Council while some trollers posted that ICC = BCCI.
Indian cricket fans did try to educate Bangladeshi fans by telling them about the Law-39 as per which Liton Das was clearly out.
However, Bangladeshi fans were in no mood to listen and this is how they reacted:
