Image of Taskin Ahmed carrying MS Dhoni's severed head goes viral

Dhaka: Usually, it is the rival players who make explosive comments before an important match. But it is different with Bangladesh cricket. Here, it is the fans who spice things up. And they keep their specials for India.

But this time they have crossed the line of decency. A photograph showing Bangladesh fast bowler Tasking Ahmed carrying the severed head of the Indian captain MS Dhoni has been posted by a fan. The photo has gone viral attracting diverse responses that have spiced up the upcoming Asia Cup T20 final to be played between India and Bangladesh on Sunday at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur.

This isn’t the first time that a Bangladeshi fan has resorted to such tactics on the social media to target the Indian Cricket Team.

The incident of 2015 bilateral series between Indian and Bangladesh must be vivid in everyone’s memory. After the Indian batsmen struggled against Mustafizur Rahman during the bilateral series, a Bangladeshi newspaper published a photo of Indian players with half-shaved heads.

Image circulated by a local newspaper after Mustafizur Rahman’s domination of Indian batsmen last year.

The rivalry between the two teams took a bad turn after the World Cup 2015 quarter-final where a controversial no-ball decision saved Rohit Sharma, who went on to score a hundred and India won the match to proceed to the semi-final.
