The second Test has also not started well for the Pakistani team, which fell behind after losing the first Test match against Bangladesh. Once again, the Pakistani batsmen failed to play big innings, but the most disappointing this time too was the team's star batsman Babar Azam. The match started in Rawalpindi on Saturday, 31 August, and the Pakistani batsmen were again seen surrendering in front of the Bangladeshi bowlers. Team captain Shan Masood and young opener Saim Ayub played half-century innings, but Babar Azam once again failed in this task. In this way, Babar's series of failures has continued for 615 days.

The first day of this second Test match being played in Rawalpindi was completely rained out, which dashed Pakistan's hopes of making a comeback in the series. When the match started after the weather cleared on the second day, the day was not good for Pakistan. Former Test team captain Babar Azam, who failed miserably in the first match, failed to help the team this time too.

Babar missed a big innings again

Babar Azam, who scored 0 and 22 runs in the first match, started well this time and stayed for a long time but then failed to convert that start into a big score. Babar Azam came to bat in the second session of the day and he also batted for about one and a half hours. During this, for once it seemed that he was returning to his form again but then the magic of veteran Bangladeshi spinner Shakib Al Hasan worked and he sent Babar back to the pavilion by getting him out LBW. Babar could score only 31 runs in 77 balls. With this, the bad phase that has been going on for 614 days has also extended to the 615th day. In these 615 days, not a single half-century has come out of Babar's bat in Test cricket.

Runs are not being made for one and a half years

The last big innings of the star Pakistani batsman came against New Zealand in December 2022, when he scored a century. Since then, he has not been able to cross the 50 mark. During this, Babar's scores in 15 innings have been like this - 31, 22, 0, 23, 26, 41, 1, 14, 21, 39, 24, 13, 27, 24, 14. That is, overall Babar has not scored even 400 runs in these 15 innings, due to which the Pakistani team has also had to struggle. As far as this match is concerned, there was a great partnership of 107 runs for the second wicket between captain Masood and Ayub, which revived Pakistan but after that wickets kept falling slowly.
