Tanzim Hasan stares at Virat Kohli after dismissing him
Team India’s star batter, Virat Kohli, showcased his formidable form during Saturday’s Super Eight match against Bangladesh. After a subdued performance throughout the tournament, where he failed to reach double figures in the group stage, Kohli displayed aggressive intent and dominated the Bangladesh bowlers during the power play. Batting in Antigua, Kohli’s resurgence was evident as he confidently led India’s charge, marking a significant turnaround in his tournament performance. His solid touch and strategic aggression provided a much-needed boost for the team, setting a strong foundation for the innings.
While Virat Kohli looked to be in prime form, his knock was unfortunately cut short in the ninth over. Despite the dismissal, he managed a lively 37 runs, showcasing both his trademark power-hitting and his ability to rotate the strike with some clever running between the wickets. However, Bangladesh’s Tanzim Hasan had other plans. Tanzim’s bowling seemed to lure Kohli into playing a risky shot. The Indian batsman, perhaps tempted by the chance to score quickly, attempted a forceful drive through the off-side, but was unfortunately bowled by the delivery. This dismissal left a sense of what could have been, as Kohli looked poised for a potentially match-defining innings.

While Kohli couldn’t convert his promising start, it was Tanzim Hasan’s aggressive celebration that drew significant attention. After dismissing Kohli in the ninth over, Tanzim celebrated with intense fervor, staring angrily at the departing Indian batter. This confrontational display continued as Tanzim maintained his fierce gaze on Kohli, clearly reveling in the crucial wicket.
Kohli, known for his competitive spirit, chose not to engage with Tanzim’s provocative celebration. Instead, he maintained his composure, quietly walking back towards the dugout without reciprocating the aggression. This moment of sportsmanship highlighted Kohli’s focus and discipline, contrasting sharply with Tanzim’s fiery reaction.
The incident quickly became a talking point among fans and commentators, illustrating the high emotions and intensity typical of such high-stakes matches. Tanzim’s celebration was seen as a reflection of the competitive spirit and pressure both teams faced in the Super Eight stage. Kohli’s measured response, on the other hand, showcased his experience and maturity, emphasizing the importance of maintaining poise even in the face of provocation. This episode added an intriguing subplot to the match, underscoring the psychological battles that often accompany the physical contest on the field.
Virat Kohli boasts an impressive record against Bangladesh in ICC tournaments. The 2022 T20 World Cup stands as a prime example. Batting first, India faced pressure from Bangladesh, but Kohli rose to the occasion. Demonstrating his mastery, he anchored the innings with an unbeaten 63 runs off just 44 balls. This crucial knock proved to be the match-winner, guiding India to a narrow 5-run victory (DLS) method. Kohli’s experience and ability to perform under pressure against Bangladesh will undoubtedly be a source of confidence for him and the Indian team as they face off once again.
In the same over where Tanzim Hasan dismissed Kohli, he also claimed the wicket of Suryakumar Yadav, who had been the star of India’s previous win against Afghanistan. Suryakumar started his innings with a first-ball six but soon found an outside edge, with the catch being taken by wicketkeeper Litton Das.
