Sequence numbers for retransmitted packets staying at Zero

Clients sends SYN and receives no reply, subsequent retransmissions follow but marked with TCP Port numbers reused message in square brackets by Wireshark. I'm guessing the reuse marking is because sequence numbers did not increment by one for every such retransmission.
