For a fast bowler, the sound of a stump breaking instantly ignites excitement among him and his team. This was the case in the first Test between South Africa and Bangladesh when Hasan Mahmud unleashed a fiery delivery that dismissed South African skipper Aiden Markram and broke the off-stump.

‌It was a day dominated by South Africa in the first Test match against Bangladesh, as they bowled first and bundled the visitors out for just 106 runs, thanks to three wickets each from Wiaan Mulder, Kagiso Rabada, and Keshav Maharaj. In response, Aiden Markram and Tony de Zorzi opened the batting for the Proteas, but things quickly took a turn when Hasan Mahmud dismissed the South African skipper in spectacular fashion.

On the last ball of the first over, Mahmud delivered a length ball that angled into the stumps. Markram aimed to play defensively but misjudged the line. Expecting the ball to move away after pitching, he was caught off guard as it slipped through the gap and clipped the top of middle stump. Markram looked completely astonished as the ball veered unexpectedly. Mahmud celebrated his first breakthrough with joy, while his teammates rushed in to join the festivities. The Twitterverse buzzed with excitement over Mahmud's impressive delivery and the pivotal wicket.

Oh! WOW!!!

Blunder he is!

He is not getting his touch!

Yeah!

LOL! That's so true!

He just goes like that!

Yeah!

Damn!

No words!
