Following the recently finished two-Test series between India and Bangladesh, the two cricketers spoke briefly about a bat maker. In a widely shared video on social media, Mehidy Hasan encourages Virat Kohli to comment on the bat's quality.
In response to Mehidy’s revelation, Virat Kohli made a Bengali quip: "MKS bat, Khoob Bhalo Achchi (MKS bat, it is very good).”
"Very good bat, keep doing the good work. You make very good-quality bats. Continue this work and provide cricketers with quality bats," Kohli said.
