Bangladesh lost the Asia Cup 2018 final to India and some of the fans did not take the loss too sportingly. A hacker community from Bangladesh, named Cyber Security & Intelligence (CSI) hacked into the website of the Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli on Tuesday in order to protest the wrong decisions made by umpires in the final played on 28 September which went against Bangladesh team. CSI posted three pictures on the website, explaining how the unfair decisions cost Bangladesh the trophy. The first picture was a collage of Liton Das’ stumping dismissal. It was a tight call made by the third umpire. However, as per the hackers, Das should not have been given out. [caption id=“attachment_5306481” align=“alignnone” width=“825”]
