Heated Exchange in Kanpur Test as Bangladesh Fan Abuses Indian Bowler

During the second Test match between India and Bangladesh in Kanpur, a notorious Bangladeshi superfan, Tiger Roby, found himself at the center of an unwanted controversy. Roby, well known for his enthusiastic support of the Bangladesh cricket team, reportedly verbally abused Indian fast bowler Mohammed Siraj, stirring unrest in the stands. Roby, who traveled to India on a medical visa, had previously drawn attention for similar incidents during the Chennai Test. Witnesses claim the fan was shouting obscenities in Bengali, which went unnoticed in previous games, but was quickly picked up by spectators in Kanpur. Amid health concerns due to dehydration, Roby was escorted to the hospital for treatment. Indian authorities are investigating the event, with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) labeling Roby a serial sensationalist. Police are reviewing security footage to verify the authenticity of his claims of mistreatment. The disruption briefly overshadowed the match and drew criticism from both fans and officials alike, casting an unwelcome shadow on the series.
