5 reasons why Shakib-al-Hasan is the best all-rounder at the moment?

#4 Bowling performances

Shakib is a clever bowler

When one watches him bowl, they realise that bowling is where his natural talents lie. He might be one of the best batsmen in the team, but that is more due to the insane amount of hard-work that he put in rather than talent. Bowling, however, comes as naturally to him as singing comes to a nightingale.

After Ravindra Jadeja, Shakib is arguably the best slow-left arm bowler in the world. Whenever there is a need of a wicket or to slow down the scoring rate of the opposition, the ball is thrown to Shakib and he almost never disappoints.

With 176 and 224 wickets from 82 and 174 innings in Tests and ODIs respectively, Shakib finds himself as one of the best bowlers in the world – and it will only get better as he enters the peak years of his career.
