Indian team's fast bowler Mohammed Shami has created this embarrassing record to his name while batting. When Shami came to bat in the first innings of the second Test against West Indies on Saturday, he was again dismissed without opening an account.
Shami was caught behind the wicket on the second ball of Rahkeem Cornwall bowling. In this way, Shami has failed to open his account in the last 6 innings of the Test match.
With this, Shami has equalled former India spinner bowler Bhagwat Chandrasekhar's record of not opening an account in 6 innings. Shami's disastrous performance began with the Australia series, where he was out for a duck in the second innings of the Perth Test match.
Since then, Shami has not been able to open his account for 5 times. However, he has remained unbeaten twice in these five innings, but even then he returned to the pavilion without opening an account.
Team India's fast bowler Ajit Agarkar was also out in five consecutive innings without opening an account. Agarkar was consistently out for zero in 5 innings of the Test series against Australia in 1999 and now Shami surpassed Ajit Agarkar's record.
Shami has played 42 Tests so far in his Test career, in which he has also batted in 58 innings. During this, Shami has been out 13 times without opening an account.
