(Watch) Indian fans harass Bangladesh Superfan “Tiger Shoaib” after during India Vs Bangladesh World Cup match in Pune.
In a thrilling encounter on Thursday, October 19, Team India secured their fourth consecutive victory in the 2023 World Cup held in Pune, defeating Bangladesh by seven wickets. The match witnessed outstanding performances by Virat Kohli, who notched his 48th ODI century, and Shubman Gill, who contributed a crucial half-century. India effortlessly chased down Bangladesh’s target of 257 runs.
This victory was the result of a commendable bowling display by the Indian team, restricting Bangladesh to a subpar score, particularly notable in the absence of Shakib Al Hasan, on a pitch that traditionally favored batsmen.
While the Men in Blue celebrated their triumph, a distressing incident took place in the stands that marred the overall atmosphere. A video shared by BD CricTime revealed some Indian fans acting insensitively towards Shoaib Ali, affectionately known as ‘Tiger Shoaib,’ who is a dedicated Bangladesh Superfan. Moreover, these fans were witnessed tearing the Tiger Mascot during the course of the match.
