In the first innings of the Test, 6 batsmen were out for 0, yet the team had reached 365 runs.

New Delhi. In an innings of Test cricket, 6 batsmen get out without opening the account, yet the team manages to score 365 runs… It seems impossible. But it has happened. So far there have been 7 such occasions in red ball cricket when six batsmen of a team have been dismissed for 0. The Bangladesh team has gone through such an embarrassing moment at most thrice. On one of these occasions, the Bangladesh team reached a respectable score of 365 runs even after 6 batsmen were dismissed for a ‘duck’. This match was played between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in May last year in Mirpur.

In the match, the Bangladesh team won the toss and decided to bat first, but both openers Mahmudul Hasan Jai and Tamim Iqbal were dismissed without scoring any runs. Apart from both the openers, Shakib Al Hasan, Mosaddek Hossain, Khalid Ahmed and Ibadat Hossain were also dismissed for 0 in this innings.
