Bangladesh fans  hack Kohli’s website

Bangladesh cricket fans on Tuesday hacked Virat Kohli's website to protest against Liton Das's dismissal in the Asia Cup 2018 final, reports India Today.

Liton was given out after being stumped by MS Dhoni off the bowling of Kuldeep Yadav in the 41st over which left Bangladesh reeling at 188 for 6 and they eventually ended up with 222 on the board after their openers Liton and Mehidy Hasan Miraz had put on 120 runs for the first wicket.

The match went on till the last ball with India winning by 3 wickets to clinch their seventh Asia Cup title. Das's stumping was the talking point after the match as replays from multiple angles showed that his foot was probably just on the line and it was very difficult to prove otherwise, and as the rule suggests the belongs to the umpire.

After venting out their frustration on Twitter following Das's dismissal, Bangladeshi fans went one step ahead by hacking into the website of the Indian captain, who wasn't even a part of the team in this Asia Cup. Bangladesh fans were not impressed with the umpiring decision that led to centurion Liton Das's dismissal during the Asia Cup 2018 final at the Dubai International Stadium on Friday.

Liton, who was batting on 121 off 116 balls, was given out stumped of the bowling off Kuldeep Yadav after a close decision. Liton's dismissal left Bangladesh reeling at 188/6 from 41 overs. After Liton's wicket, Bangladesh struggled to put on runs and folded for 222 from 48.4 overs.
