In a heartwarming moment that has captured the attention of cricket fans, Virat Kohli, the veteran Indian batsman, showcased his Bengali language skills in a viral video following the conclusion of the India vs. Bangladesh Test series. The occasion was marked by a special gift from Bangladesh all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who presented Kohli with a bat from his newly established bat company.
A Memorable Gesture
The video, shared widely on social media, features Mehidy presenting the bat to Kohli while speaking in Bengali. After patiently listening to Mehidy’s words, Kohli responded with a smile, saying, “Khoob bhalo achi” (it’s very good). He further expressed his appreciation for the bat and wished Mehidy success in his business venture, stating, “It’s a very good bat. Wish you all the best. Keep doing the good work. You are making good bats; keep it up and supply good quality equipment to all the cricketers.”
This exchange not only highlighted Kohli’s linguistic skills but also reflected the camaraderie and respect shared between players from different nations.

Rohit Sharma’s Support for Mehidy’s Venture
Prior to gifting the bat to Kohli, Mehidy also met Indian captain Rohit Sharma, who praised the young cricketer for his entrepreneurial spirit. In a separate video posted by MKS Sports, Mehidy shared his excitement about gifting a bat to Sharma as well.
Rohit expressed pride in Mehidy’s achievements, saying, “I know Mehidy from a long time. He is a very good cricketer. And I am very proud of him that he has started his own bat company along with some of his friends. I want to wish him all the best; may God give him all the success. I hope this company will rise above everyone else.”
A Special Connection with Bangladesh Cricket
This gesture is not new for Kohli, who has previously shown appreciation for Bangladeshi cricketing legends. Notably, he gifted one of his bats to Shakib Al Hasan after their recent Test match in Kanpur. Shakib had announced that he would be available for the upcoming series against South Africa but hinted that it could be his last Test series due to personal circumstances.
Kohli’s thoughtful actions towards both Mehidy and Shakib demonstrate his respect for fellow cricketers and their contributions to the sport.
