Shakib first to 4k

Shakib first to 4k

Ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan became the first Bangladeshi to score 4,000 runs in one-day internationals. He reached the landmark during the World Cup match against Afghanistan in Canberra on Wednesday.

He crossed the line when clipped away a short-of-a-yorker from Aftab Alam wide of short fine-leg for four on way to making 63.

Next in the line to reach the milestone is opening batsman Tamim Iqbal. He has now scored 3,990 runs in 136 ODIs.
