Bangladesh all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz presented a special gift to Team India skipper Rohit Sharma after the completion of a two-match Test series. It was a forgettable series for Bangladesh as they lost 0-2, but Mehidy did make some special memories, including claiming the big wicket of Indian captain Rohit twice in the Kanpur Test. Mehidy was the highest wicket-taker for Bangladesh in the series with nine scalps under his kitty, including a four-fer in the first innings of the second Test.

Mehidy, who started a bat company with his friends in Bangladesh, gave Rohit a bat as a gift. A video posted on MKS Sports' Facebook page shows the Bangladesh all-rounder looking elated and sharing a special moment with the Indian skipper.

"I am with Rohit bhai and I gifted him a bat from my company. I always wished to give him a bat and so I am very happy," said Mehidy.

Rohit congratulated Mehidy on his new venture and wished him success while accepting the bat from him.

"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. And I hope this company will rise above everyone else," said Rohit.
