One of the best batters to come out of bangladesh is Litton Das. The wicketkeeper, 30, has so far amassed 2,788 runs in 48 Test matches, 2,569 runs in 94 One-Day Internationals, and 2,020 runs in 95 Twenty20 matches. His accomplishments on the cricket field will make him revered in most nations, but not in Bangladesh.
Being one of the few Hindu cricket players in his nation, the attractive hitter is being singled out due to his faith. During the current bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2025 in Chittagong, cricket fans made fun of Litton Das, Bangladesh's talented wicketkeeper-batsman. Fans pointed at him when he was fielding close to the boundary and yelled the racial epithet "bhuya," which may mean "fake" or "garbage."
Some social media users connected the event to recent stories of persecution of minorities in bangladesh, namely against Hindus. Litton Das was playing for the Dhaka Capitals when the incident allegedly happened during their match against Fortune Barishal.
"You may see a blurred video of someone being jeered; we see a national hero who smashed the fastest century in BPL history and was part of a record-breaking partnership," the Dhaka Capitals responded on their data-facebook page, expressing their support for Das.
