He gave away five off the first ball which was a no-ball, and then bowled a wide. Off the next five balls, Chigumbura alternated between sixes and fours before Alauddin bowled another wide and was finished off with a six. Alauddin ended up conceding 93 in his 10 overs.[1] A world record at the time, it has since been broken, and now stands at 43 runs from one over.[2]

In October 2018, he was named in the squad for the Rajshahi Kings team, following the draft for the 2018–19 Bangladesh Premier League.[3]
