SHAKIB AL HASAN

That Shakib was going to perform both with the bat and the ball was expected. As a result, his 63 off 51 balls and the two wickets that he scalped wasn't a surprise. What did, in a way, leave many in disbelief was the way he dropped a catch at the third-man region. The reaction just goes on to show how consistent and special the left-hander has been for the Tigers over the years. The century-stand that he shared with Mushfiqur not only revived his side, but catapulted them to a strong position. It was the best possible way to become the first Bangladeshi cricketer to score more than 4000
ODI runs.
