Watch | Mohammad Shahzad’s weight gets better of him as he runs himself out

Shahzad has been one of the most celebrated batsmen of Afghanistan cricket, with his name in the history books for several records. In 2009, he became the first Afghani batsman to score a ton in the ODIs and in the succeeding year, he also became the first Afghani batsman to score a double ton in a first-class game against Canada. Though, Shahzad has been a prolific performer for Afghanistan with the bat, he has often faced criticism for being overweight. 

In his country's historic maiden Test match against India, his weight was the source of debate once again as he got himself run out in a silly fashion by Hardik Pandya. Shahzad tapped straight to Hardik Pandya at point and set off for a single. However, his weight got the better of him and given the brilliant fielder that Pandya has always been, he managed a direct hit to cut short Shahzad's stay. In his short stay at the crease at the crease, Shahzad scored 14 runs off 18 balls.
