Dhaka, Mar 6 (Emirates 247) : Bangladesh's cricket team is hoping to cause a major upset in the Asia Cup final in Dhaka by trouncing favourite India.

But ahead of Sunday's match a huge controversy has erupted when a Bangladeshi fan posted a photograph on social media which has gone viral.

The image shows Bangladeshi fast bowler Taskin Ahmed carrying the severed head of the Indian limited-overs captain MS Dhoni and it has caused anger among the Indian cricket fans.

Bangladesh's cricket fans' creativity with Photoshop has rubbed their Indian counterparts the wrong way and this time though, the 'joke' may have been taken a bit too far.

However, India team director Ravi Shastri responded by saying that they do not read newspapers and that the job is only to play cricket.

This, of course is not the first time the country's fans or even the media have targeted the visiting team.

In 2015, after the Indian batsmen struggled against Mustafizur Rahman, who had made his debut during that series, a Bangladeshi newspaper posted a photo of half-shaved heads of the Indian players, in order to show the after effects of Mustafizur's 'cutters' or slow deliveries.

The rivalry had taken a fierce form when Rohit was given not-out when he was caught off this delivery in the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup quarter-final.

Thereafter, for the first time Bangladesh defeated India 2-1 in a bilateral ODI series at home, wherein, Mustafizur Rahman tormented the Indian batsmen.
