All-rounder Shakib Al Hasan’s final Test innings ended in disappointment as he was dismissed for a second-ball duck, leaving Bangladesh’s hopes dwindling in the second and final Test against India at Green Park. Shakib, Bangladesh’s most experienced player, came in to bat at No. 7 with his team struggling to recover from early wickets, but his stay at the crease was shockingly brief.

Facing Indian left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja, Shakib encountered trouble immediately. Jadeja, bowling with his usual guile, delivered a well-flighted ball outside off-stump. The ball gripped the pitch and turned sharply, forcing Shakib to rethink his shot at the last second.

It seemed like the ball stopped a bit before coming onto the bat, catching Shakib off guard. As he attempted to check his shot, Shakib ended up chipping the ball tamely back to Jadeja. Known for his sharp reflexes and outstanding fielding, Jadeja made no mistake. He reacted quickly, taking a sharp return catch with ease, sending Shakib back to the pavilion for a duck.

It was a crucial moment in the game as Bangladesh lost their last recognized batter, and with Shakib’s dismissal, any remaining hope for a competitive total significantly diminished. Shakib’s dismissal for a duck marked a frustrating end to what had already been a challenging innings for Bangladesh.
