Virat Kohli gifted his signed bat to Shakib Al Hasan

India comfortably defeated Bangladesh at Green Park in Kanpur, clinching the Test series 2-0. This may well be Shakib Al Hasan's final Test match unless he returns to play in the South Africa series in Bangladesh. To commemorate Shakib’s career, Virat Kohli gifted him one of his own bats.

If Shakib's desire to play his last Test at Mirpur is unfulfilled, then the Kanpur Test will mark the end of his Test career. After the Bangladesh-India series, Shakib received a bat from cricketing superstar Virat Kohli, much to his delight.

Before the Kanpur Test, Shakib had announced his retirement, expressing a wish to play his final Test on home soil. However, there remains uncertainty about whether he will be able to retire after the series against South Africa.

Despite a disappointing performance with the bat in the Kanpur Test, Shakib took 4 wickets for 78 runs in the first innings, leaving a notable mark on his final appearance.
