Indian batting maestro Virat Kohli won everyone’s heart with his special gesture for Bangladesh player Mehidy Hasan Miraz moments after their three-wicket win over Bangladesh in the second Test match in Dhaka. The Indian cricket team fought their way back to register a stunning win in the 2nd Test match against Bangladesh in Dhaka.
Chasing a target of 145 runs, the Indian side was on the verge of losing the game after Mehidy Hasan Miraz got a five-wicket haul and dismantled India’s batting line-up. However, India’s spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer rose to the occasion. Both the players stitched an unbeaten 71-run partnership and helped the Indian side register a win by 3 wickets. With this win, the Indian side has managed to whitewash Bangladesh 2-0 in the series.

Talking about the game, Mehidy had a memorable Test match as he finished with six wickets. He accounted for the likes of Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Axar Patel, and wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant to put India in a spot of bother at 74/7. However, he couldn’t take his team to an improbable win. Mehidy could have also picked the wicket of R Ashwin but Mominul Haque dropped an easy catch at forward short-leg, which eventually turned out to be costly for Bangladesh’s side as Ashwin counter-attacked with an unbeaten 42.
