Fast bowler Akash Deep of India was ecstatic to receive a signed bat from cricket great Virat Kohli. India’s roster for the two-match Test series against Bangladesh currently includes both players.
Deep posted a picture of the autographed bat on Instagram. Deep made his Test debut against England in Ranchi in February. With sincere appreciation, he wrote “Thank You Bhaiya” (Thank you, brother) as the caption for the photo. The 27-year-old was excited to show off the unique present from his celebrity.
Kohli is willing to help and inspire younger players, as evidenced by his thoughtful gift. As a treasured keepsake, this bat represents Deep’s respect for Kohli and his desire to succeed in his cricket career. This motivational event will surely push Deep to even higher heights as he continues to make progress in international cricket.
Virat Kohli’s batting numbers against Bangladesh:
Virat Kohli is likely to have a great impact in the next Test series against Bangladesh due to his good record against them. The average of Kohli in 6 Tests against this team is 54.62 with two hundreds.
While he did not play a major role during the indians’ comfortable victory over Bangladesh in the recent tour, he has an outstanding first-class record against them at home with 378 runs at an average nearing 95 and a top score of 204.
His last participation in test matches was during the South Africa tour when he made an average of 43 runs including crucial 46 runs in the first innings of the second test, which India won.
When starting the series vs Bangladesh, it is expected that Kohli will aim for 9,000 Test runs as he has already scored 8,848 runs with 49.15 as his average in a number of 113 Tests played by him thus far. With such a brilliant career track record alongside a desire towards new milestones, he would likely help India a lot in this series.
