Babar Azam bags an unwanted first in Test cricket
Pakistan's star batsman Babar Azam was dismissed for a duck for the first time on home ground during the opening day of the first Test against Bangladesh at Pindi Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.

Babar, who is regarded as one of the most reliable batsmen in international cricket, went out without adding any runs to the scoreboard.
Batting at No. 4 with Pakistan struggling at 14/2, Babar was caught out by a length delivery from Shoriful Islam that targeted his legs, resulting in a two-ball duck.

Before the series commenced, the Bangladesh fast bowler had expressed his ambition to get Babar out, referring to him as a "dream wicket."
Opinion:-
Babar presents a significant challenge for Bangladesh, so it's crucial that we get him out early. He is also a player I aspire to dismiss, and achieving that would bring me great joy. I had the opportunity to compete alongside him last year in the CPL, and I found him to be an excellent person," Shoriful mentioned.
Before the current match, Babar had participated in 24 innings across 14 home Tests without being dismissed for a duck.
Baber Azam is a best successful batsman of our Pakistani team. I always liked his performance. What is your opinion about this. Leave a comment.
Thanks.
