Both Sanskrit epic Ramayan of Valmiki and Bangla epic Meghnad Badh Kavya (The Saga of Meghnad's Killing) of Michael Madhusudan Dutt, were written on same intrigue, Lanka Kanda (The battle of Lanka). Demon king Ravan abducted Sita, the wife of Ram, symbol of pedigree dignity. Ravan's act explained as illegal commandeer in Ramayan, while Dutt explained as Ravan's smartness and failure of Ram and Lakshman to guard household disgrace.
Let's have a look on Lanka Kanda of cricket, which took part in Bangladesh few days back. Original climax began with the snatching of poise (Sita) away and ended with battle, while this Lanka Kanda began with the battle and ended with seizing the esteem (the trophy) away. Many events and characters of the battle of Lanka stirred, which continued in modern day's cricket history, perhaps, will be treated as cricketing myth on day.
Hathurusingha, the Ravan of Ramayan or Meghnadh Badh- Hathurusingha had been very effective in the development of Bangladesh cricket, who's their head coach since 2014 till October 2017, left Bangladesh side divulging nothing. Subsequently, became villain to many over night.
Hathuru, who became a big factor for Bangladesh cricket sentiment during the two months long Bangladesh tour of Sri Lanka, created a clear divergence between hosts and Islanders. Hathurusingha is the man, who sailed Sri Lankan cricket to the bank again from clutch.
Shakib, the great savior- Like the sage Vishwamitra, Shakib Al Hasan is a great maneuver on the way to win for Bangladesh, who became decisive factor in Lanka-Bangla duals. Shakib missed both the Tests and T20s against Sri Lanka since he was injured in the final of Tri-nation ODI.
Wasn't it larger than Sugriv's monkey troop- Bangladesh called 34 players in the squad, among them 28 played and made seven debuts, which is a strange record for any Test playing nation.
Wickets became Setubandhan, the tough bridge-Two Test venues of Dhaka and Chittagong got one demerit points each from the ICC, for their uneven characters. Chittagong wicket was descending for bowlers, while batter had a very tough time in Dhaka.
Is Gamini de Silva the Bibhishan?- Finger was raised to Lankan origin pitch curator Gamini de Silva, as Bangladesh captain claimed dearth of wicket behavior according to their requirement after tri-nation ODI final. Rumour regarding his secret meeting with Hathurusingha on the day before final flamed the debate. But Bangladesh failed to perform in the wickets made in accordance with their sweet will.
Sabbir as the Kabandha of BD cricket - Sabbir Rahman, who swallowed too many personal disputes, remained head and armless demon for Bangladesh cricket with very poor cricketing display.
Khaled Mahmud, the Basistha, lost his temper- Like sage Basistha of Ayuddha, Khaled Mahmud played the role of technical adviser of Bangladesh cricket team, who outburst against media all of a sudden in the middle of the cricket battles. Who was highly critised for pronouncing Bangladesh cricket environment 'dirty'.
Agastya returned- Like elder monk Agastha, Razzak returned in Bangladesh side, grasped four wickets and told people the secret of cricketing experiences.
However, Bangladesh fought against Lankans without their Sumantra (the head coach).
