Babar Azam is one of the top-ranked T20I batters in the world right now. The International Cricket Council recently gave him the nickname of ‘Baadshah’ because of his dominative performances at the top level. He has scored runs consistently for his team across all three formats of the game.
However, 2022 has not been the best year for Babar as an individual batter. He has got out for a golden duck for the first time in his career this year. Not just once, Babar has got out on the first ball of his innings twice. It was at the grand stage on both the occasions.
In this listicle now, we will list down the two players who have dismissed Babar for a golden duck in the shortest format of the game.
1. Arshdeep Singh dismissed Babar Azam for a golden duck today
Arshdeep Singh accomplished the unique feat of dismissing Babar for a golden duck earlier today in the Super 12 match of T20 World Cup 2022 between India and Pakistan. The Men in Blue are playing their first match of the T20 World Cup 2022 tournament against the Pakistan cricket team.
Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bowl first. Bhuvneshwar Kumar conceded only one run in his first over, and then on the first ball of the second over, Arshdeep Singh trapped Babar in front of his stumps.
2. Fazalhaq Farooqi
Afghanistan’s rising star Fazalhaq Farooqi played against the Pakistan cricket team in the Asia Cup 2022 Super Fours round. It was the first time he played a T20I against Pakistan, and he started off with a bang by dismissing Babar LBW on the first ball itself.
While Babar got out for a golden duck against Afghanistan, Pakistan won that match. It will be interesting to see what happens in today’s match.
