Greatest all-rounders of all time in Tests

#9 Shakib Al Hasan

One of the greatest name to have emerged from the Bangladeshi soil, Shakib Al Hasan became the first and only cricketer in history to be ranked #1 all-rounder by ICC in its Player Rankings in all three formats of the game (Test, Twenty20 and One Day Internationals) in 2015. The top-ranked all-rounder in the longest format of the game re-discovered his bowling talent in 2008 home test series against New Zealand where he ran through the Kiwi batting line-up with 7-37 in the first innings, till date the best bowling figure by a Bangladeshi bowler. Not only this, in the second innings he went on to strike a fluent 71 establishing his batting talent.

Shakib has scored 3692 runs at an average of 39.69 making him one of the best batsmen in the team. He has 5 hundreds and 23 fifties to his name. He has taken 196 wickets at an average of 31.88 which includes 18 five wicket hauls and 2 ten wicket hauls. In November 2014 against Zimbabwe, Shakib became the third player to have scored a hundred and taken 10 wickets in the same Test joining Imran Khan and Ian Botham.
