Shakib Al Hasan (Photo Source: Shakib Al Hasan: The Indian team defeated Bangladesh by 280 runs in the first Test match of the two-match Test series. India had challenged Bangladesh to score 515 runs to win and took a 1-0 lead in the Test series by bowling out Bangladesh for 234 runs in the second innings. Bangladesh had expressed its trust in some senior players on this tour but none of them could live up to the expectations. One name among them is Bangladesh’s star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan. Shakib Al Hasan was playing the match despite injury Shakib Al Hasan scored only 32 runs in the first innings and 25 runs in the second innings for Bangladesh. He also proved to be expensive in bowling, where he first bowled a spell of 8 overs in which he gave 50 runs without taking any wicket. After that, in his second chance too, he proved to be the most expensive without taking any wicket, he gave 79 runs in 13 overs. However, the reason behind his poor bowling was his injury, about which even the team coach was not aware. Murali Kartik, who was on the broadcast, said, “After watching and knowing him for so long, I went up to him and asked the reason why he didn’t bowl enough.” “Since I have known him for a long time, I went and asked him the reason for not bowling much. So he told me that the finger with which he bowls on his left hand has undergone surgery, it is swollen and there is no movement in it. As a spinner you should feel the finger but he is not feeling anything. Apart from this, he also has a problem in the shoulder and in such a situation, especially in Tests, it is difficult to bowl.” Bangladesh coach is unaware Bangladesh batting coach David Hemp surprisingly revealed that he was not aware of Shakib’s injury, leading to speculations over the all-rounder’s fitness. When asked about the veteran Bangladesh star’s injury, Hemp simply said- “No, I don’t know anything about it at all, sorry.”
