Showing utter disrespect towards the Indian cricket team, a Bangladeshi newspaper has produced a fake 'cutter' advertisement, in which seven Indian cricketers are seen standing with their heads half-shaven.

India had lost the three-match series 1-2 to give Bangladesh a historic bilateral series victory, following which certain sections of the Bangladesh media went all out and celebrated the win. But the photograph that emerged on June 29 in a national daily called Prothom Alo, holds the entire issue in a bad taste.

Bangladesh's leading national daily Prothom Alo came up with this shameful ad on Monday

Young Bangladeshi paceman Mustafizur Rahman, who tormented the Indian players in the ODI series, is shown endorsing a cutter - symbolising his 'offcutters' - and the Indian players are holding a banner which reads, 'We have used it. You can use it too'.

Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Ajinkya Rahane, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, Shikhar Dhawan and R Ashwin are shown standing with the banner with their heads half-shaven. Half-shaven heads are traditionally considered to be a sign of humiliation and an ad like this might strain the relationship between the two cricket boards.

its a real cutter in his hand. with which he has shaven off heads of our cricketers apparently.n the written lines' translation is 'humne use kar liya (cutter),aaplog bhi karlo' symbolically means humne cutter (bowl) se jeet liya series,aaplog use kab karoge in a mocking way🥱

Translation was there in the top story, which had

Young Bangladeshi paceman Mustafizur Rahman, who tormented the Indian players in the ODI series, is shown endorsing a cutter - symbolising his 'offcutters' - and the Indian players are holding a banner which reads, 'We have used it. You can use it too'.



Knowing Bangla, I can tell you that the translation in green is accurate. The sign next to Mustafizur's cutout says 'Mustafizur cutter available here at Tiger Stationary'

In 2050, they'll still be crowing about this win.

It is not a big issue. It is in reference to Mustafizur's cutters which practically lost us the series. From that point of view it is somewhat funny (I personally don't find this kind of satires funny but I can understand if others do).

Of course tonsuring the heads has some religious significance among Indians so in that sense this can be a distasteful advertisement.
