The reason behind this was his batting style. He was seen using a black thread while batting.
Shakib Al Hasan’s Black Thread Trick
Many photos and videos of Shakib Al Hasan during the Chennai Test went viral on social media. In which he was seen chewing a black thread while batting. Everyone from the commentators to the fans were amazed to see Shakib do this. However, there is a special reason behind why Shakib did this. In fact, this streak was helping Shakib with the bat. Due to this thread, their head does not turn towards the side of the leg and the leg also comes forward. Which helps him to control himself and he is able to play straight shots. Earlier, Shakib had his jersey chewed in the Global T20 Canada League as well.

Shakib was a flop in the Chennai Test
Shakib Al Hasan could not do anything special in this match. He did not get a single wicket in the entire match. He bowled only 8 overs in the first innings and could only concede 32 runs while batting. After this, in the second innings he bowled 13 overs and did not take a single wicket. At the same time, he could contribute only 25 runs in the batting as well.
Let us tell you that Shakib Al Hasan’s injury was also a major reason behind his poor performance. This was also revealed in the middle of the match when former Indian spin bowler Murali Karthik explained the reason for his poor performance. Murali Karthik revealed that Shakib had told him that he had problems with his finger and his shoulder. Murali Karthik said, I went and asked him the reason for not bowling more. So he told me that the finger on his left hand that he bowls with has undergone surgery, it is swollen and there is no movement. As a spinner you should feel the finger but it is not feeling anything. Apart from this, he also has a problem with his shoulder and it is difficult to bowl in such a condition, especially in Tests.
