In the ongoing Test match between India and Bangladesh, debutant and opening batsman of hosts Zakir Hasan managed to score an incredible century. Zakir becomes the fourth Bangladeshi batsman to score a Test century on debut. Aminul Islam, Mohammad Ashraful and Abul Hasan are the other three Bangladeshi batsmen who scored a century on Test format.
“I wanted to bat a little longer for the team. It might have been easier for them (in the chase),” he said while adding that he was not very uncomfortable opening the innings even though it isn’t his preferred position.
After making the catch, Kohli was seen giving Zakir a pat on the back and speaking to him briefly. The discussion appeared to be cordial, and Zakir later acknowledged that the former India captain had congratulated him in a press conference following the day’s play. When questioned about what Kohli had told him, he responded, “He congratulated me and I thanked him.”
