Bangladesh white ball cricket captain Litton Das has celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi with devotion alongside his family at his residence. The veteran wicketkeeper batter shared glimpses of the intimate festivities across his social media handles. In the shared photographs, the cricketer appeared in traditional attire alongside his wife and daughter, participating in ceremonial prayers in a serene household setting.
Heartfelt Festive Message From The Skipper
Accompanying the festive images, the Bangladesh captain posted an emotional note expressing his spiritual devotion. In his public post, he expressed deep reverence as he welcomed Lord Ganesha into their home, praying that the deity brings peace, happiness, prosperity, and positivity to the household. He added that the divine presence should guide their path across every walk of life, wrapping up his message with the customary chant honoring Ganpati Bappa.
Past Encounters With Online Trolling Over Religious Festivals
Publicly sharing his religious observances has previously invited severe hostility from fundamentalists on digital platforms. In September 2022, following his post featuring an image of Goddess Durga during Mahalaya on Facebook, several commenters directed intense vitriol at him and urged him to convert to Islam. Earlier, he had faced comparable targeted harassment after sharing greetings for festivals like Krishna Janmashtami. Despite recurring trolling from extremist elements on online channels, the cricketer has continued to share key family celebrations with his supporters.
Career Milestones And Recent On-Field Challenges
Born on October 13, 1994, the 32-year-old cricketer remains one of the prominent and experienced figures in the national squad, performing duties as a frontline batter and wicketkeeper. Across his career, he has represented Bangladesh in 240 international fixtures. His record includes 56 Test appearances where he has scored six centuries and 50 fifties. In the 50-over format, he has featured in 104 ODIs with five centuries and 14 half-centuries, alongside 122 T20 International appearances. However, his recent outings with the bat have hit a rough patch. In his last three international innings, he failed to score a single run, registering consecutive ducks against Australia across both innings of the second Test following a scoreless dismissal in the opening Test.
