Faf du Plessis, Sarfraz Ahmed become first pair to register this unwanted record in Test cricket history

Faf was dismissed for a six-ball duck when he miscued the short ball from Shaheen Afridi to Hasan Ali at fine leg in the second innings and it was a pair for the South African skipper as he departed for a duck in the first innings as well.

Incidentally, his counterpart - Sarfraz Ahmed - had recorded a pair as well in the same Test match and as a result, it was the first instance in the history of Test cricket where both the skippers bagged a pair.

Sarfraz was dismissed for a duck by Duanne Olivier in the first innings before Kagiso Rabada bowled him out in the second innings. In the case of Faf, he had suffered a golden duck on the first innings.
