Veteran Bangladesh cricketer Shakib-al-Hasan is easily one of the best cricketers his country has produced and hence whenever he has the ball or the bat in his hand, the spotlight is on him. During the second Test between Bangladesh and Pakistan at Rawalpindi on Saturday, there was a hilarious moment featuring Shakib and Babar Azam. The incident that has garnered all the attention transpired in the 48th over of the innings after Mohammed Rizwan pinched a single and gave the strike to Babar. With the former Pakistan captain getting ready to play a paddle sweep, Shakib just stopped just when he was about to deliver the ball. The incident left everyone happily surprised. Here is the clip that is now going viral:
Soon after the above incident, Shakib trapped Babar in front to a delivery that seemed to have kept a touch low.

Babar eventually perished for 31 off 77 balls. His innings was laced with two boundaries and just when it seemed he had got his eye in and would score heavily, he perished. Put into bat first, the hosts managed to score 274. Pakistan were bundled out and the pick of the Bangladeshi bowlers was Mehedy Hasan Miraz, who picked up five wickets. Opener Saim Ayub was the top-scorer for Pakistan with 58.
On Day 3, Bangladesh would like to score big and bat the hosts out of the match.
