But even before the match, the dirty underhand tactics of the Bangladesh cricket fans have come to the fore.
A recent post from a fan is a clear insult to the Indian national flag. It shows a tiger draped in the Bangladesh flag pouncing on a dog draped in Indian colours. This is clearly crossing the line
It hardly comes as a surprise though, last time they did something like this was during the Asia Cup last year. This one featured Taskin?Ahmed holding M.S. Dhoni¡¯s severed head, which naturally did not go down well with Indian fans. In a nice little twist or irony, it was Dhoni¡¯s innings that ensured Bangladesh would lose the final.
Earlier in 2015, they pulled off another one. A Bangladeshi newspaper ran an ad that featured Mustafizur Rahman holding a razor, standing behind Indian batsmen with half their heads shaved.
However, photoshopping an image is one thing, performing on the field is entirely another. Virat Kohli and his boys won't take this insult lightly and are expected come out guns blazing against Mashrafe Mortaza's men. At stake is a place in the final and the Indians won't give an inch to their underdog neighbours. Make no mistake, India will make them pay out there in the middle.
India and Bangladesh have never played in the Champions Trophy before. But in six ICC encounters, India have won 5. Bangladesh's only win came in the 2007 World Cup.
