Shakib Al Hasan is the best star of Bangladesh cricket at the very end of his international cricket career. The world's best all-rounder has already played his last match in T20. Shakib announced his retirement from Tests before playing in Kanpur. He wants to bid farewell to the elite version of cricket by playing against South Africa in Mirpur this month.
However, fulfilling that hope of the Tiger all-rounder is now complicated. However, this will be Shakib's last Test on foreign soil, even if he gets a chance to play in Mirpur. And that's why India's legendary batsman Virat Kohli gave a 'tribute' to the legendary cricketer of Bangladesh.
At the end of the match, the cricketers of both teams were waiting in the field for the award ceremony. At that time, India's star batsman Kohli came out of the dressing room with his bat. Shakib was a bit surprised after receiving that bat as a gift. After that Kohli put his hand on his shoulder and became happy. Then India's wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant also gifted the bat to Shakib.
While Shakib made his Test debut in 2007, Kohli played his first match in white after four years. He has played more Tests than the Bangladeshi batsmen even though he came later in the Tests. Kohli showed respect to Shakib at the end of the match on Tuesday, highlighting mutual harmony and respect above rivalry. Then the Bangladeshi sports journalists who went to Kanpur presented Shakib with a memento.
Shakib took four wickets in two innings on foreign soil in the last test. All of which were in the first innings. He was disappointed with the bat. He has not had a run with the bat for a long time. Can't do well in Kanpur either. He scored 9 runs in two innings. Could not open the account of runs in the second innings.
Shakib announced his retirement plan from an international career the day before the start of the Kanpur Test. He wants to leave the Test this month by playing against South Africa in the country. However, the best star in Bangladesh's cricket history also indicated that he would end up in Kanpur if he did not get security back home and then leave the country.
