After the conclusion of the India-Bangladesh Test series, Team India skipper Rohit Sharma and legendary batter Virat Kohli received a heartfelt surprise from Bangladesh all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Following India’s comprehensive 2-0 victory in the series, Mehidy, who co-founded the bat company ‘MKS Sports’ last year with Imrul Kayes and a few friends, decided to gift personali𒆙zed bats to🏅 both Kohli and Rohit as a token of appreciation.
A thoughtful gesture for Rohit Sharma
In a video posted on the official MKS Sports Facebook page, Mehidy expressed his admiration for Rohit and shared that he had always wanted to present him with a bat. He said, “I am with Rohit bhai, and I gifted him a bat from my company. I always wished to give him a bat and so I am very happy.” Rohit, touched by the gesture, praised Mehidy for his entrepreneurial venture. The Indian captain said, “I’ve known Mehidy for a long time. He is a very good cricketer. I’m proud of him for starting his own bat company with his friends. I wish him all the best; may God grant him success, and I hope his company surpasses all others,”

India’s commanding 2-0 series victory over Bangladesh
India wrapped up a dominant 2-0 series triumph over Bangladesh, further solidifying their position at the top of the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 rankings. Despite the Kanpur Test being a𓆉ffected by raꩲin, which washed out two full days of play, India managed to secure a seven-wicket win. Bangladesh initially showed some fight, but India’s batting depth and clinical bowling turned the tide in their favor.
This victory in Kanpur followed India’s commanding performance in the first Test in Chennai, where they posted a resounding 280-run win. India’s bowlers, led by a disciplined attack, stifled the Bangladeshi lineup, while the Indian batters responded with big scores in both Tests, underlining their dominance throughout the series.
While Mehidy Hasan will continue to feature in the upcoming T20I series against India, Rohit and Virat will enjoy a brief break before the team’s next assignment against New Zealand. This memorable exchange of gifts between the Indian stalwarts and the young Bangladeshi all-rounder stands as a testament to the camaraderie and mut🌞ual respect shared among cric𒊎keters on and off the field.
