Angry Bangladeshi fans lash out after Liton's close dismissal

It looks like rather than his ton, the rage in fans across the Twitte regarding him being declared out has become a matter of grave concern, especially among the Bangladeshi fans. The Twitterati was set ablaze with tweets regading the close call, soon after third umpire Rod Tucker declared Das out.

Since the 2015 World Cup, there always has been something or the other that has triggered a social media war between India and Bangladesh fans whenever these two teams have met in an ODI. The Asia Cup was final was no different. The triggering incident this time was the dismissal of Bangladesh opener Liton Das.

Though Liton Das smashed his maiden ODI century, making way for his team to post 222, it was his mode of dismissal that attracted a lot of attention on social media. It became a matter of grave concern, especially among the Bangladeshi fans. In the 41^st over when Liton, batting on 121, stretched a bit too far to make contact with a Kuldeep googly, Dhoni gathered the ball and whipped the bails off in a flash. After several replays, the third umpire finally ruled it in India’s favour. Indeed it was a close call and needed several replays for the third umpire to come to a conclusion which was a fair one.

But the decision did not go down well with the Bangladeshi fans. Soon after third umpire, Rod Tucker declared Das out, twitter was flooded with with tweets from angry Bangladeshi fans. 

#INDvBAN #dugout benefit of doubt should've been given to Liton das not out.Why cheat?
This type of decision makes us think that it is an improved version of fixing invented by Indian Cricket team and umpires.

Whenever India is in trouble it starts cheating or taking favour from umpires
Liton Das was not out. Really a pathetic decision by third umpire #INDvBAN

However, there were some who applauded Dhoni for his quick glovework.
