What happened to Liton Das,with viewers?
Liton Das remained silent. He did not show any reaction. When the audience 'disrespects' a cricketer, what can he do? Liton stood there with a silent face. His team Dhaka Capitals, however, did not remain silent. They stood by Liton in difficult times. Liton is also grateful to the team for that. Rangpur Riders have also protested this incident.
What is the real incident? This is the incident of January 16. Liton was fielding on the boundary in the Fortune Barisal and Dhaka Capitals match in Chittagong. Suddenly, several spectators started chanting 'Liton is fake, fake' slogans towards him.
Not once or twice, but continuously for a long time. Shocked by hearing such slogans, Liton stared at those spectators for a while. However, there was no anger in Liton's gaze, it seemed to show helplessness!
In any case, times were going badly for Liton. Despite his recent run-scoring in the BPL, he was dropped from the Bangladesh team for the Champions Trophy, which is a big blow for Liton. Everyone expects support from the audience in such a bad time.
But he didn't get it, on the contrary, Liton looked surprised when he heard a duo near his ear. The incident was not seen on television cameras. However, someone posted it on social media and it went viral.
His franchise Dhaka Capitals did not take the incident of giving a duo to Liton from the gallery well. The team wrote on their official page, standing next to Liton, 'You may see someone hear a duo in a blurry video, we are watching a national hero score the fastest century in BPL history and become part of a record-breaking partnership. You see criticism, we see a star batter play the biggest ODI innings for the country and reach the highest position in the Test rankings as a batter for the country. You see obstacles, we see the creation of some historic moments. Liton, you are the symbol of our love. You are our pride.’
This message touched Liton’s heart. Expressing his gratitude, Liton wrote on his page, ‘Such a great response from Dhaka Capitals touched my heart. Thank you to everyone who supported me and other players in good and bad. Your trust is our world.’
Liton, who has not scored runs in ODIs for quite some time (no fifty in the last 14 ODIs), recently returned to running in the BPL. After 73 runs against Sylhet Strikers, Durbar played an innings of 125* runs against Rajshahi.
In this situation, Rangpur Riders also protested the incident of the audience giving Liton a dua. The franchise’s Facebook page wrote, ‘He wrote countless fairy tales with his bat in the red-green jersey, he gave us an occasion to celebrate! We remember and support that Liton Das.’
