Impressed With His Grit, Virat Kohli Wishes Speedy Recovery To Haseeb Hameed

Ecstatic after his side’s emphatic win over England in the third Test at Mohali, Indian skipper Virat Kohli showered some generous words on England opener Haseeb Hameed during the post-match press conference.

Talking about his knock, Virat seemed impressed with the youngster’s grit, attitude and approach towards the game after he played a role of a rescuer for the visitors even after an injury on his left hand.

Hameed, who got hit by a rising delivery from Umesh Yadav in the first innings that eventually got him out, caused some concerns for the batsman and also for his team. His brave innings of 55* saw the 19-year-old earning laurels from his countrymen and also from the opposition too.

“I wish him speedy recovery. He showed great character of a 19-year old,” Kohli said.

Not just this, both Virat Kohli and Haseeb Hameed were later seen having a light chat after the match got over.

Having the world number two batsman Joe Root at his helm and getting an opportunity to have a word with one of the best run-chasers in limited-over cricket, Haseeb must be feeling quite lucky with his presence in the squad. Words of encouragement from Virat will surely boost his confidence and help him improve him as a batsman.

Haseeb Hameed played three matches in the series and scored 219 runs at an average of 43.80.
