Melbourne: Drama. Emotion. Tragedy. Accusation. The saga of unsavoury India-Bangladesh matches continues with Wednesday night’s pulse-pounding affair in Adelaide.
Like it has so often in the past, this one too ended with another round of hand-wringing from the Bangladeshis about what could have been. The ‘fake throw’ accusation against Virat Kohli too follows a similar pattern of bad blood: lose a match they could/ should have won, then rail against the system, opposition players, umpires, even the weather.
As Bangladeshi cricket fans go about setting social media on fire in the aftermath of yet another heart-breaking defeat to India, it’s worth remembering that this atmosphere of unwanted rancour ironically started with a Bangladesh win back in the 2007 50-over World Cup in the Caribbean.
Since then, it has consumed even age-group cricket: Pacer Rubel Hossain and Virat Kohli, for example, first started having a go at each other during their U-19 days.
