Shocking Collapse Babar Azam Unbelievable 8th Duck Stuns Fans in Test Cricket

Shocking Collapse Babar Azam Unbelievable 8th Duck Stuns Fans in Test Cricket

Former Pakistan test captain, Babar Azam has fallen for his 8th duck in test cricket during the Pakistan vs Bangladesh 1st test match

Moreover, this is Azam's first duck in 24 Test innings at home

Despite leaving test captaincy, Babar Azam is still a key player in the Pakistan team and him not performing well could cause a huge crisis for the Men in Green. 

Azam has represented Pakistan in 53 test matches and he got out on a duck in 8 out of those 53 matches. 

His most recent performance in the PAK vs BAN 1st test was nothing short of embarrassing. Azam had to return to the pavilion after facing just 2 balls and with a score of 0. 

Babar was caught behind the wicket by Liton Das on Shoriful Islam’s delivery. 

After Babar, Abdullah, and Shan’s dismissal, Pakistan were 16/3, a figure they would be dreading to look at. 

The Pakistan vs Bangladesh test series is part of the ICC World Test Championship and will take place from 21st August till 3rd September. 

Pakistan are currently ranked sixth in the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25. They have played two away series in the championship, winning 2-0 against Sri Lanka and losing 3-0 to Australia.

Pakistan playing XI: Abdullah Shafique, Saim Ayub, Shan Masood (c), Babar Azam, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Salman Ali Agha, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah, Khurram Shehzad, Mohammad Ali.

Bangladesh playing XI: Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Shadman Islam, Zakir Hasan, Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan, Litton Kumer Das (wk), Mehidy Hassan Miraz, Shoriful Islam, Hasan Mahmud, Nahid Rana.
