Pakistan's star batsman Babar Azam suffered a humiliating blow on Wednesday, August 21, 2024, when he was dismissed for a duck in the first Test against Bangladesh in Rawalpindi.

Off just the second ball he faced, Azam was caught by Litton Das off Shoriful Islam's delivery.

The dismissal came at a crucial time for Pakistan, who were already struggling to recover from the early loss of two wickets. Azam's failure to contribute to the team's score added to the mounting pressure on the home side.

This was Azam's eighth Test duck, and his first since 2021.

The unexpected dismissal sparked a wave of criticism on social media as fans expressed disbelief and disappointment at the performance of one of Pakistan's most celebrated cricketers.
