Shakib with rare achievement
Bangladesh cricketer Shakib Al Hasan has achieved a rare feat in cricket. Shakib holds the rare record of 6000 runs and 300 wickets against a single country. The Bangladeshi reached the milestone with a half-century in the third ODI.
It is also the return of Shakib, who was banned for a year by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for withholding information from bookies. There are other records in Shakib’s name alone.
He became the first Bangladeshi to take five wickets against all Test nations. Shakib is the fourth cricketer to achieve this feat in world cricket. Shakib has taken 76 wickets in international Twenty20 matches at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium.
Shakib also became the highest wicket-taker on a single ground. Shakib is the fastest all-rounder in international cricket with 10,000 runs and 500 wickets. He also shares the record of being one of seven batsmen to score a double century and zero in a single Test. Shakib is expected to play in the series starting next month at 3 p.m.
