Sportskeeda Cricket Awards 2016: T20I All-rounder of the Year

#1 Shakib-Al-Hasan (Bangladesh)

Shakib-Al-Hasan has been Bangladesh's No. 1 all-rounder in all three formats

While the polls do not agree with this, but the sheer numbers that this man has produced this year, coupled with a couple of big-match performances make him the eventual winner of the T20I all-rounder of the year award.

20 wickets and 260 runs from 16 matches this year speak in abundance about the performances of arguably the greatest all-rounder that Bangladesh have produced.

Shakib's 32 and 2/21 in the Asia Cup tie against Sri Lanka set the tone for the team as far as that tournament was concerned, while his consecutive knocks of 50*, 33, and 22 against Pakistan, Australia, and India in the World T20 2016 gave Bangladesh a chance in each of those games. It was just that his teammates could not capitalise on it.

He picked up 10 wickets in the World T20 alone. His consistency throughout the year coupled with the statistical superiority that he has as compared to the other nominees makes him clinch the award.

Only 15% of our voters, though, thought that Shakib was eligible for this honour.
