In fact, during the match, Shoriful Islam was seen sledging the Indian players on cameras almost after every delivery. The video of the incident went viral on social media and the netizens were unhappy with the behaviour displayed by the Boys in Green. First, check out the tweet and then a few reactions:

What's so amazing JP? Cant you see how Bangladeshi's are mocking Indians and trying to get physical. Bangladesh might have won the world cup but the spirit of cricket has definitely been put to shame. #IndvsBan #U19WorldCup #U19CWCFinal

Another one!
I'm Really disappointed with the Bangladeshi players since from start of the match they are sledging with the Indian players. And at the end it was horrible, cricket is always called a game of gentleman. So I think some strict actions should be taken towards Bangladesh teem

Bangladesh has always been disrespectful towards the game with their celebration specially against INDIANS,
