[Watch] When Oman's Fayyaz Butt bowled KL Rahul for golden duck in U-19 World Cup for Pakistan
Fayyaz Butt shone for Oman in the 2021 T20 World Cup defeat against Bangladesh, picking up three wickets to bowl the opposition out for 153 in their group stage match in Al Amerat.
Before moving to Oman, Butt represented Pakistan at the U-19 level. He even put in a match-winning performance in their win over India in the 2010 U-19 World Cup quarter-finals.
KL Rahul, now one of the best batters in the world, opened the batting for India U-19 in that match. Butt bowled him for a golden duck off the very first delivery of the match.

Butt finished with four wickets and was named the Player of the Match as Pakistan U-19 won by two wickets. He returned figures of 4/27 in the rain-affected match.
The match also featured Babar Azam, who is captaining Pakistan in this T20 World Cup.
