Twitter Reactions: Bangladesh fans cry foul as centurion Liton Das is given out stumped

Bangladesh and India are taking each other on in yet another action-packed game of cricket, but this one is the final of the coveted Asia Cup. The Tigers were clinical against Pakistan in a virtual semi-final and ensured they meet India once again to perhaps avenge their loss in the 2016 edition of the Asia Cup. Meanwhile, India have looked unstoppable and are currently head and shoulders ahead of any of their opponents.

Afghanistan were the only side who gave them a tough challenge, but India weren’t playing with their first choice eleven. In Dubai, Bangladesh got off to an absolute flyer, much like the start Fakhar Zaman had given Pakistan in the final of the ICC Champions Trophy in 2017. However, playing Zaman’s role for Bangladesh was right-hander Liton Das.

Batting with Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Liton provided Bangladesh with the perfect start that they required in a final. But it was India’s man with the golden arm Kedar Jadhav who provided the defending champions with the breakthrough with the wicket of Mehidy Hasan.

Dhoni stumps Liton

Bangladesh’s scoring rate suddenly dropped as they began to lose wickets at one end, but Liton stuck to his ground and brought up a sublime century under the given circumstances. But soon after he got to his hundred, Kuldeep Yadav came up with a terrific delivery that foxed Liton.

Kuldeep had tossed the ball wide and the batsman expected it to come back in. But this was the Chinaman’s trademark googly. As he played at it, Liton got no bat on ball, and MS Dhoni whipped the bails off in 0.16 seconds! The call went up to the TV umpire, and the main man thought Liton Das had his toe on the back line, but nothing behind it. He was given out by the smallest of margins.

Usually, the benefit of the doubt would go to the batsman, but in this case, it was the bowler who was favoured by the umpire. The third umpire would have had to be convinced that Liton was on the line and that no part of his foot was behind it. Bangladesh fans are crying foul and are visibly disappointed with the decision.

Here are the reactions of the Bangladeshi fans on Twitter

India will win #AsiaCup2018 because they are 12 players including 3rd umpire #INDvBAN #INDVsBAN #BANvIND

#BANvIND Again, a crucial decision in favour of #India Liton should have gotten the benefit of doubt. Thieves. India ALWAYS cheated against Bangladesh team.

After that No-ball case (Rubel to Rohit catch out but given tight no-ball) in #CWC2015 B'desh ODI side was completely changed.
