In an unexpected turn of events during the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), Litton Das, one of Bangladesh’s most celebrated wicketkeeper-batters, was booed by fans while fielding near the boundary. The crowd chanted “bhua, bhua” (meaning fake) at the Dhaka Capitals player, pointing fingers at him. Though visibly affected, Litton chose not to respond and kept looking at the fans. A video of the incident quickly went viral, sparking widespread reactions on social media.

Many social media users linked the booing to recent incidents of hostility towards minorities, particularly Hindus, in Bangladesh. Others speculated that the fans’ reaction might stem from Litton’s exclusion from Bangladesh’s Champions Trophy squad for 2025. The incident reportedly occurred during the Dhaka Capitals vs. Fortune Barishal match.

“You may see a blurred video of someone being booed; we see a national hero smashing the fastest century in BPL history and being part of a record-breaking partnership,” the post read.

The team further added, “You see criticism; we see a star batter who holds Bangladesh’s highest individual ODI score and the country’s best Test batting rank. Litton, you are a symbol of our love. You are our pride.”

Litton responded with gratitude, posting:

“Truly touched by this wonderful gesture from my team, Dhaka Capitals. Thank you to everyone who supports me and all athletes, through every high and low. Your belief means the world to us.”

Meanwhile, Litton Das remains focused on his game, letting his bat do the talking amidst the noise. With his team’s support and fans rallying behind him, he continues to be a shining star for Bangladesh cricket.
