Pakistan star batter Babar Azam has now recorded four consecutive failures in the Test series against Bangladesh at Rawalpindi, which also extended his poor form and struggles in Test cricket.

Babar was dismissed for 31 and 11 runs in second Test match, failing in both innings when the Pakistan team needed his experience to provide stability to the batting order.

With his failure and Pakistan's consequent batting collapse, the team faces the threat of losing a Test series against a Bangladesh team whom they have dominated for decades.

Fans react to Babar Azam's shocking batting performance in Pakistan vs Bangladesh Test series

In a shocking stat, Babar has now failed to score a fifty in Test cricket for over 6161 days after his recent failure in the 2nd Test against Bangladesh at Rawalpindi.

What is Babar Azam's record in the Pakistan vs Bangladesh Test series?

After falling for a two-ball duck in the first innings of the first Test against Bangladesh, Babar has recorded a best score of just 31 runs in the two-match Test series.

This is a huge failure not only for him individually but for the Pakistan team who have been winless in Test series since March 2021.
