Pakistan batsman Abdullah Shafiq scored a hat-trick of ducks on Friday. A few days ago, India’s star batsman Suryakumar Yadav also did the same unwanted thing.
For Suryakumar Yadav, who is struggling with bad form, the ODI series against Australia was like a nightmare. In all the three matches of the series, he went without opening an account. Following the path of Suryakumar, the Pakistan batsman also did an unwanted feat. Abdullah Shafiq of Pakistan has also made a hat-trick of being a duck, but he made this hat-trick not in ODI but in T20. (PC-Shafique Instagram)
Shafiq returned to T20 after a long time. In the first match of the T20 series being played against Afghanistan, he came on the field and returned to the pavilion after playing just two balls. Shafiq could not even open his account and got LBW on Azmatullah’s ball. (PC-Shafique Instagram)
Shafiq has played only four matches in his T20 career so far. He made his debut against Zimbabwe on 10 November 2020 and scored 41 runs. After this he played two T20s against New Zealand in which he returned without opening an account. The same happened in Sharjah on Friday. (PC-Shafique Instagram)
It is a matter of coincidence that in all these three matches, Shafiq got duck after playing only two balls. This batsman is longing to play the third ball of his innings. Even in the only ODI of his career, he has scored only two runs. (PC-Shafique Instagram)
Not only Shafiq but Pakistan’s entire batting flopped in the first T20 match against Afghanistan. This was the reason that the team was able to score only 92. Afghanistan achieved this target by losing four wickets and defeated Pakistan in a T20 match for the first time. (PC-Shafique Instagram)
