Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s “Special souvenir” moment

Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s “Special souvenir” moment : Mehidy had a 5-wicket haul earlier in the day, reducing India to 74/7 when they chased a mere 145 on the turning ground. By pulling India out of the mire and bringing them to the goal of 145 before noon on the fourth morning, Ravichandran Ashwin (42), and Shreyas Iyer (29), saved India from what would have been a most humbling defeat.

India overcame Mehidy’s storm thanks to a match-winning partnership of 71 runs between Ravichandran Ashwin and Shreyas Iyer. When India had lost seven wickets, Ashwin joined Shreyas Iyer in the middle, and the pair weathered the storm to finish the whitewash.

Post match, Virat Kohli of India presented Mehidy Hasan Miraz of Bangladesh with a unique momento following the second test on Sunday at Sher-E-Bangla stadium in Dhaka.

Mehidy took this priceless moment to his social media and shared a picture captioning, “Special souvenir from one of the greatest cricketer Virat Kohli.”

Axar Patel’s leg stump was uprooted earlier by Mehidy Hasan Miraz, giving him his fifth wicket of the innings. At the time, India had barely passed the halfway point toward what was beginning to appear to be an impossible goal for them.

India had lost Jaydev Unadkat leg-before to Shakib Al Hasan when they were resuming at 45 for 4, and they had also wasted a review trying to rescue the night watchman.

Shakib Al Hasan said,

“Everyone contributed. We always knew that we had chance in Mirpur. Very good Test cricket, that’s what the crowds love to see. Both teams were really good. Credit goes to Shreyas and Ashwin, they absorbed the pressure well and built a partnership. We had 70-odd runs to play with, just needed one wicket. We can think of several ifs and buts, but I’m proud of the way we fought,”
