"Special souvenir from one of the greatest cricketers Virat Kohli," wrote Miraz.
Miraz asked for a Virat Kohli jersey during the ODI series. The former Indian captain remembered that and gifted Miraz an autographed ODI shirt.
"I asked for a jersey from him during the ODI series. He remembered that and today he handed over the jersey to me," Miraz told the Business Standard (TBS).

Mehidy Hasan Miraz was outstanding throughout the series. He played two match-winning knocks in the ODI series including a win and in Mirpur, he bowled a brilliant spell of five for 63 to give Bangladesh a sniff.
