During the final ODI of the series between India and Bangladesh, Ishan Kishan and Virat Kohli stitched together a phenomenal partnership as India managed to inflict a searing defeat upon their neighbours. A staggering 290-run stand for the second wicket ushered India to a majestic 409 runs on the board.

Ishan Kishan’s double-century toppled multiple records on Saturday as Chris Gayle was toppled from the perch in the list of the fastest double-centurions in ODIs. In that partnership, Virat Kohli also managed to go past Ricky Ponting’s magical 71 international centuries to claim the second spot for himself in the overall list of tons in international cricket.

During a chat on SonyLiv, Ishan Kishan revealed what Virat Kohli told him during the partnership at the Zahoor Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium. Kishan said, “When I was at 197, I thought Mustafizur will bowl a slower ball and I can hit him for a six. But then, I knew that I only had this one game in this series and I didn't want to miss this opportunity. So, I went to Virat bhaiya and told him to keep telling me to take singles, or else I will hit an aggressive shot.”

He further added, “So, he was just reminding me for that. When I reached my double century, I didn't realise who was near me when the celebration happened. Virat bhai came from behind and said you could've hit me with the bat!”

While Ishan Kishan hammered his double-century and celebrated at one end, Virat was elated and made no effort in hiding his emotions as he pranced in ecstasy at the other end too.
