While Shakib was not given an official farewell by his teammates or by the opposition, Indian batting star Virat Kohli did win hearts by gifting the former Bangladesh captain a bat during the presentation ceremony in Kanpur.

Virat Kohli honored Shakib Al Hasan by gifting him a signed bat after the Kanpur Test, marking what could be Shakib's final Test match. The gesture symbolized respect for Shakib's iconic all-round career.

Virat Kohli was sharp to take the DRS which eventually saved him at Kanpur. Mehidy Hasan Miraz bowled the perfect delivery to Kohli on Tuesday, the ball stayed low and the former India captain did not get a bat on that.
