After a splendid World Cup campaign in South Africa, India’s young colts failed to sail through the final obstacle as they lost to Bangladesh U-19 in a rain-affected game.
The so called gentlemen game. The issue started with Bhishnoi sledging to Bangla player BUT it didn’t end well.#CWCU19 #IndvsBan #BANvIND #IndiaVsBangladesh #U19WC #CWC19 #U19CWC #U19CWC2020 #Bangladesh #India pic.twitter.com/BnRYddFHLo

Bangladesh U-19 skipper, Akbar Ali said it was “a dream come true” and that he was elated. But even he agreed that the aggression from his set of players was something unwanted and uncalled for.

It all started with the Bangladeshis sledging most Indian batsmen during the first innings of the final.

After Bangladesh secured the ICC U-19 World Cup and the game was over, the players ran into the ground where they clashed with the still-aggressive Indian players.

Soon Indian coach Paras Mhambrey had to intervene and stop the heated argument between the two sets.
Cross checked the stump-mic audio when Bangladesh got the winning run. You can clearly make out the choicest abuses

While some fans claimed the Indians abused a Bangladeshi player first, many believed it was a Bangladeshi who ignited the clash with excessive sledging.
