The cricketing world was treated to a heartwarming moment after the India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test in Kanpur. Virat Kohli presented Shakib Al Hasan with a special gift—a bat—as a tribute to the legendary all-rounder, who might be nearing the end of his illustrious Test cricket career.

Shakib’s Uncertain Retirement Plans

Bangladesh’s cricket fans are in a state of uncertainty. Their greatest player, Shakib Al Hasan, had hinted that he would retire from Test cricket after one final game in Bangladesh. However, with the upcoming Bangladesh vs South Africa series set to take place in Dhaka and Chattogram, Shakib’s request to play his farewell match in Mirpur cannot be fulfilled due to ongoing civil unrest.

The series starts on October 21, but it’s still unclear if Shakib will don the whites one last time in the second Test against South Africa. Fans are left wondering—will their star player say goodbye to Test cricket for good?

 

Kohli’s Thoughtful Gift

Following India’s 7-wicket win, the camaraderie between Virat Kohli and Shakib Al Hasan shone through. Even though Shakib had dismissed Kohli for 47 during the Test match, their rivalry stayed on the field. Post-match, it’s likely that Shakib requested a special memento from Kohli, and the former Indian captain didn’t hesitate to hand over his bat.

The two legends were seen chatting after the match, sharing mutual respect and admiration. It was a moment to cherish, as two giants of the game celebrated their journeys and their contributions to the sport.

Game Recognises Game
There’s something magical about moments like these—two world-class players putting their battles aside to acknowledge each other’s greatness. Kohli’s gesture symbolizes the bond shared between cricketers who have competed at the highest level. It’s the kind of scene every cricket fan loves to witness: true sportsmanship between legends.

Whether Shakib Al Hasan plays his final Test or not, this beautiful moment with Virat Kohli will remain a highlight for fans and a reminder of the respect great players have for one another.
