Known for his prowess with the bat, Pakistan skipper Babar Azam Wednesday added another feather to his already decorated cap when he took his first-ever Test wicket during the Green Shirts' second Test match against Bangladesh in Dhaka.

The skipper, in the second innings, bowled two overs, took a wicket, and only conceded a run — with an economy of 0.50.

The captain picked up the wicket of Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who scored 14 off 70 balls.

Miraz tried to sweep Babar's delivery and missed the ball, which touched his pad as a result. Pakistani fielders appealed for LBW, but the on-field umpire declared it not out.

However, Babar straight away went up for the review which clearly showed the impact was in line, and the ball clearly hitting between the leg and middle stump which forced the umpire to reverse his decision to out as the entire Pakistani team became ecstatic.

The Pakistan team was all excited to see their skipper pick up his wicket, while Babar himself was all smiles.

The wicket was an important one as well for Pakistan as Shakib al Hasan and Mehidy continued to defy Pakistan’s bowling and were looking in a position to deny the visitors a win.

Pakistan whitewashed Bangladesh 2-0 in the Test series, breathing life into a rain-hit Test match that was otherwise, headed for a certain draw.
