The fast-bowling unit of the hosts is considered to be one of the best in the world and they have been gearing up for the series on full swing.

Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah, Mir Hamza and Khurram Shehzad are the key pacers in the current Test squad.

During a recent nets' session ahead of the first Test match, a video of a matchup between fast bowler Khurram Shehzad and Babar Azam went viral, which left the latter batter in pain.

What happened between Babar Azam and Khurram Shehzad during the practice session?

The Pakistan players were engaged in a practice session at Rawalpindi ahead of the first Test match against Bangladesh.

In the clip, the fast bowler Khurram Shehzad can be seen steaming into bowl at the nets with a skillful outswinger against captain Babar Azam, who failed to read the ball, which just missed the stumps.

In the following delivery in the video, Shehzad made a change up with a quick ball from back-of-length, that cut back in and seemingly injured the skipper, who had a take a break to get treatment for the pain.

Shehzad came in to check up with Babar, who was still on the ground. The ordeal, however, did not end there.

While attempting a drive to take on the bowler in the next ball, the bowler was once again able to get the better of Babar, as he was clean bowled.
