Renowned Bangladeshi newspaper tries to shame Team India with a distasteful ad

Bangladesh recently humiliated India in the three-match one-day international series, beating the visitors 2-1 at home. The win was Bangladesh's first ever series victory against India. Bangladesh flags were waved relentlessly at the Mirpur Stadium by boisterous fans celebrating as their team outplayed the opposition. Teen prodigy and left arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman confounded the Indian batsmen with his lethal offcutters. The 19-year-old returned home with 13 wickets in 3 matches and in the process became only the second ODI bowler after Zimbabwe's Brian Vitori to claim five-for in his first two matches. The Indians, however, avoided an unprecedented series whitewash by earning a consolatory 77-run victory in the final match. But what Bangladesh achieved on the field was, today, somewhat negated by their media’s lack of sportsman spirit. In an attempt to further shame and humiliate Team India, a renowned Bangladeshi newspaper came out with this photograph on June 29th, 2015. 11698574_1019937564705996_1668461678896060512_n.jpg?oh=856e6ea5d59cc3bd7a13e29b195e2f37&oe=5635163B Prothom Alo, a famous Bangladeshi newspaper, in its weekly supplement Rosh Alo bore a cover that features a fake advertisement for a cutter. It shows Bangladeshi cricketer Mustafizur standing with a ‘cutter’, symbolising his famous ‘offcutters’. And in front of Mustafizur stand seven players of the Indian squad with their heads half shaved. The fake ad carried text about a famous Mustafizur delivery that proved extremely effective; and Ajinkya Rahane, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni, Shikhar Dhawan and Ravichandran Ashwin can be seen holding a banner that says: "We’ve used it. You can use it tooâ€. Half-shaven heads are traditionally considered to be a sign of humiliation and an ad like this being carried by a renowned publication is in bad taste. This ad is not something that is likely to help Indian ties with Bangladesh in terms of cricket and will only add fuel to the new-born rivalry between the two sub-continent nations, which started after Bangladesh’s quarter-final ouster from the World Cup earlier this year.
