Started playing cricket 3 years ago, and now this bowler has shocked Pakistan, Bangladesh has done this feat for the first time
Hardly anyone would have thought that Pakistan would have to struggle in a Test match against a weak team like Bangladesh on its soil. Not just in one match, but in the entire series, it will prove to be a failure. In that too, Bangladesh's fast bowlers will overpower Pakistan, while Pakistan, famous for its fast bowlers, will lose on this front as well. Something similar happened in the second Test match going on in Rawalpindi, where on the fourth day of the match, Bangladeshi fast bowlers bowled out Pakistan for just 172 runs and did something that had never happened before in its cricket history. In this too, a 21-year-old bowler, who started playing cricket only 3 years ago, played an important role.
Bangladesh did this amazing feat for the first time
On the fourth day of the Rawalpindi Test match, the Pakistani team came on the field with the hope of scoring a big score in the second innings, so that they could keep the hopes of winning alive by setting a big target in front of Bangladesh. Exactly the opposite happened. From the first session of the day itself, Bangladesh's fast bowlers dominated and they started sending Pakistan's great batsmen back to the pavilion one by one. All 10 wickets of Pakistan were taken by Bangladeshi fast bowlers only. In this way, for the first time in Test cricket, Bangladesh's fast bowlers achieved this feat.
Nahid Rana created a stir
Fast bowler Hasan Mahmood played an important role in bringing Pakistan to this state. He took the maximum of 5 wickets but the topic of discussion was left-arm pacer Nahid Rana. This 21-year-old fast bowler surprised the Pakistani batsmen with his stormy speed. This bowler, who is about 6 feet 3 inches tall, troubled Pakistan by bowling continuously at a speed of 140 to 150 kilometers per hour. He got only 1 wicket in the first innings but in the second innings, he broke the back of Pakistan.
In the second innings on the fourth day, Nahid shocked Pakistan by taking the wickets of Pakistani captain Shan Masood, star batsman Babar Azam and vice-captain Saud Shakeel in 3 consecutive overs. The result was that the score of the Pakistani team, which had lost 3 wickets for 62 runs at one time, became 81 runs for 6 wickets between the 17th and 21st overs. Nahid Rana took his fourth wicket by dismissing Abrar Ahmed in some time. Apart from him, experienced pacer Taskin Ahmed also took a wicket.
Started cricket only 3 years ago
The most impressive thing about Nahid's performance is that he started playing cricket only 3 years ago. He used to play cricket at the local level but at the age of 18, he truly started his life as a cricketer. He did not even get a chance to play Under-19 cricket. Then at the age of 19, he made his first-class debut and in the very next season, he created a stir by taking 32 wickets in the National Cricket League. Finally, this year, he made his debut in the Test series against Sri Lanka and took 5 wickets.
