There is nothing special for a fast bowler to take an early wicket on the first over of a test match. This was evident on the second day of the second Test between Pakistan and Bangladesh when Taskin Ahmed delivered a stunning ball to dismiss Abdullah Shafique, giving his team a crucial success.

‌As the sun finally shone brightly over Rawalpindi, anticipation was high after a rain-marred first day that left fans eager for action. Bangladesh's captain, Najmul Hossain Shanto, won the toss and chose to bowl first on a lively green pitch. Taskin Ahmed was entrusted with the new ball and made an immediate impact.

Taskin Ahmed delivered a crucial ball on the final delivery of the opening over, setting the stage for Bangladesh. The 29-year-old came over the wicket and dished a full-length delivery to Shafique. The ball pitched just outside off-stump and sharply nipped back in, catching Abdullah Shafique off guard. The Pakistan opener tried to defend the red cherry but left a significant gap between bat and pad. The gap allowed the ball to sneak through and crash into the stumps as Shafique departed for a duck. Taskin erupted in celebration as his teammates swarmed around him, while fans and social media buzzed with praise for the brilliant delivery that electrified the game.

That was some delivery!

What a ball!

Abdullah Shafique has noe clue on it!

Absolute peach!

No one would have done it better!
