There is no need for anyone to get worked up. It is just an opportunistic piece of jingoistic advertisement. The best way to counter this to play well enough never to lose to Bangladesh in any form of any sport. Playing badly, losing and the cribbing about such ads is of no use.
When England regained the Ashes in 1977 after losing them in 1974-75 and 1975, the relief at the recovery from the trauma inflicted by Lillee and Thomson was such that, a photo showing Bob Willis, John Lever, Derek Randall and Graham Roope wearing T-Shirts reading, "Pommie Power" did the rounds. The Aussies did not crib. Instead, they made their team so good that it held the Ashes from 1989 to 2005.
When India toured Sri Lanka in 1973-74, the Sri Lankan newspapers called the home team, "World Champions in one-day cricket". This came true only two decades later.

Indian team by default is not a team.. its a cluster of egoistic players playing for their own pride and goals and not for their country.. this is not an ad but truth revealed by the bangladesh media which the already sold media in india can never do it !
Long way to go for Bangal cricket. This is classical example of saying "success brings arrogance". Cheap thinking by the new paper publisher. They cannot even think beyond that. I am sorry for that nation and its people.

The ad looks very crude & classless but our boyz in blue deserve it. They didn't play to their potential & were outclassed in all dept. Kohli repeatedly failed when he's regarded as amongst the best in the world. A truly good team like S.A., Australia, New Zealand would never have lost the series. Our boyz fell like nine pins. We play to win & not humiliate the entire nation.
