World Cup 2019: The best player from each department

#3 All-rounder: Shakib Al Hasan

Shakib shined with both the ball and bat for Bangladesh

Bangladesh's veteran all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has been a top-quality cricketer ever since he made his debut, and his impeccable consistency is extremely difficult to match. Now in his thirties, the man from Jessore is enjoying the form of his life. The Bangla Tigers have made great progress in cricket over the past decade, and Al Hasan played a major role in their rise.

Modern-day cricket is packed up batting and bowling all-rounders, but the 32-year-old is one of the rarer players who are equally good in both the departments. He amassed 606 runs in the recently concluded competition, at an astonishing average of 86. His ODI career strike rate is 82, but it skyrocketed to 96 in this World Cup. Besides being his country’s leading run-scorer, he also was Bangladesh’s best spinner, with 11 wickets in 8 matches. He also maintained an economy rate of just over 5 runs per over.
