One of the Instagram users felt that Taskin was lucky to get a photo with Kohli and called the speedster “Lucky”.
Taskin did not take part in the first Test against India as he was recovering from a back injury. Bangladesh missed the services of Taskin in their opening match at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram as they lost by 188 runs.
Bangladesh’s bowlers were unable to do anything impressive and Taskin had predicted a similar result ahead of the First Test.
“Chattagram in Bangladesh is a batting paradise. It has never been easy for the fast bowlers here. We are improving but we are yet to find favorable wickets. It is usually a batting track. If we try to force the matter then it will not be in our favor. We will leak runs. He is a good player, so we have to swing the new ball a bit.
The hosts were asked to chase down a mammoth score of 513 in the first Test. Debutant Zakir Hasan scored a century in the fourth innings to take his side into the contest. However, his brilliance with the bat went in vain as the Shakib Al Hasan-led side were bundled out for 324. Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav took eight wickets in the game to secure the lead for his team in the two-Test series. Kuldeep was also adjudged man of the match.
