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

#1 Diligence

Shakib Al Hasan lends added flexibility to the side

Talent alone is never enough, just ask Mohammad Ashraful or Aftab Ahmed. The two aforementioned players had talent in abundance but lacked the diligence and temperament to go along with it and make it huge in the world of cricket.

When it comes to raw talent, Shakib might be below the already-named two players, but his dedication and hard work has brought him where he is today – on the pedestal of the cricket world.

Playing Shakib is like having two players in your team. A team might only consist of 11 names, but Shakib’s presence in the starting XI gives the impression that Bangladesh have named 12 players to take on their opponents.

Even after reaching the stage that he is now, where he is already the greatest ever player the country has produced, he doesn’t take anything for granted and keeps working hard to keep up with the best.
