Shakib’s smart play left Babar Azam sprawling on the pitch, while he shared a laugh with Litton Das.
In the second Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh at Rawalpindi Stadium, the hosts are struggling, having been dismissed for just 274 runs in their first innings on the second day.
Despite an early setback in the first over, Shan Masood and Saim Ayub formed a solid 107-run partnership for the second wicket. However, once these two settled batsmen were dismissed, the middle order fell apart, with the exception of Salman Ali Agha, who also contributed with a half-century.
In the first match, Shakib Al Hasan dismissed Babar Azam, who was again disappointing with the bat. Azam managed only 31 runs off 77 balls before being trapped LBW by Shakib, who used his left-arm spin to beat Azam. The former captain’s indecision on whether to play the ball on the front or back foot led to his downfall.

Recently, a new video has gone viral showing a humorous interaction between Babar and Shakib. In the clip, Babar, determined to sweep Shakib, was caught off guard when Shakib paused just before delivering the ball, causing Babar to lose his balance and fall to the ground. He and Bangladesh wicketkeeper Litton Das shared a laugh over the incident.

Babar’s struggles are not limited to match situations; he is also having difficulties in the nets. A recent video shows him struggling against Khurram Shahzad, who managed to dismiss him in the slips. Khurram had previously unsettled Babar by taking his wicket during training sessions before the series began.
