The first match of the 2-match Test series between India and Bangladesh was played in Chennai. This match could not last even 4 days and Team India won by 280 runs. With this, Team India has taken a 1-0 lead in the series. But during this match, Bangladesh's experienced all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan was in a lot of discussions. The reason behind this was his batting style. He was seen using a black thread while batting.

Shakib Al Hasan's black thread trick

During the Chennai Test, many photos and videos of Shakib Al Hasan went viral on social media. In which he was seen chewing a black thread while batting. From commentators to fans, everyone was surprised to see Shakib doing this. However, there is a special reason behind why Shakib did this. Actually, Shakib was getting help in batting because of this thread. Because of this thread, his head does not bend towards the leg side and his foot also comes forward. Which helps him to control himself and he is able to play straight shots. Earlier, Shakib was also seen chewing his jersey in the Global T20 Canada League.

Shakib flopped in Chennai Test

Shakib Al Hasan could not do anything special in this match. He did not get a single wicket in the entire match. He bowled only 8 overs in the first innings and he could contribute only 32 runs in batting. After this, he bowled 13 overs in the second innings and could not get a single wicket. At the same time, he could contribute only 25 runs in batting.

Let us tell you, Shakib Al Hasan's injury was also a big reason behind his poor performance. This was also revealed in the middle of the match when former Indian spin bowler Murali Karthik told the reason for his poor performance on air. Murali Karthik revealed that Shakib told him that he had a problem with the finger with which he spins and the shoulder. Murali Karthik said, I went and asked him the reason for not bowling much. So he told me that the finger of his left hand with which he bowls has undergone surgery, it is swollen and there is no movement in it. As a spinner you should feel the finger but he is not feeling anything. Along with this, he also has a problem in the shoulder and in such a situation, especially in Tests, it is difficult to bowl.
