Virat Kohli Gifts Signed Bat to Shakib Al Hasan After His Final Test in Kanpur

The Indian team defeated Bangladesh by 7 wickets in the second Test. Yashasvi Jaiswal scored half-centuries in both innings of this match and played an important role in making the team win. He was given the Player of the Match award for his brilliant performance. After winning the second Test, Team India cleanly swept the series 2-0. Bangladesh’s star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has already said that he wants to end his Test career by playing against South Africa. But he has not been guaranteed security on his return to Bangladesh, as Shakib is accused of a murder there.

Virat Kohli gifted the bat.

Shakib, who played his last Test on foreign soil here, has already made it clear that he will not play in the home series against South Africa until the current caretaker government of Bangladesh assures that there will be no hindrance in his leaving the country. After registering victory in the second Test match, Indian star batsman Kohli headed towards the Bangladesh team and handed over his bat to the greatest cricketer of Bangladesh. Both were seen greeting each other and laughing while Shakib did ‘shadow driving’ with the bat.

Shakib has played 71 matches in IPL.

Shakib Al Hasan is a popular cricketer in India who has played 71 IPL matches. He played mainly for Kolkata Knight Riders and some matches for Sunrisers Hyderabad. He has scored 793 runs and taken 63 wickets in 71 IPL matches so far.

Shakib is accused of murder.

Shakib is accused of murder in Bangladesh which was leveled at a time when civil unrest spread in the country due to which former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had to step down. Shakib was a Member of Parliament from Hasina’s party Awami League. The current government of Bangladesh is not keen on giving Shakib a farewell match and the current President of Bangladesh Cricket Board, Farooq Ahmed, says that his organization is not a security agency. In such a situation, the Kanpur Test could be Shakib’s 71st and last Test match.
