ICC Champions Trophy 2017: 5 reasons why India can’t be complacent against Bangladesh

#3 Shakib Al Hasan

Shakib Al Hasan is arguably Bangladesh’s greatest ever cricketer

Shakib Al Hasan has served as an all-important cog in the wheel of Bangladesh cricket across formats and the team relies heavily on the all-round prowess of the maestro. Having dipped his feet in the IPL, county cricket, the Caribbean Premier League, and the KFC Twenty20 Big Bash, the star all-rounder has had a taste of playing in different conditions.

His 224-run stand with Mahmudullah not only scripted Bangladesh’s astounding victory, it became their highest ever partnership for any wicket. Shakib has always been an epitome of versatility blended with a pinch of aggression on the field. Apart from batting, his bowling ability has always provided Bangladesh with that extra edge. India ought to have a definite plan against the 30-year-old.
