New Delhi.Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan is currently considered among the best all-rounders in all three formats of cricket. With both bowling and batting, he has the ability to change the course of any match but batting was the talk of the town during the World Cup 2023 (his poor performance in the World Cup). In 7 matches of this World Cup held in India, Shakib managed to score only 186 runs at an average of 26.57, during which 82 runs was his highest score. His poor performance with the bat also affected the Bangladesh cricket team and the team failed to make it to the Super 4.
This was the same Shakib who, besides scoring 606 runs at a tremendous average of 86.57, also took 11 wickets in 8 matches of the 2019 World Cup. But the team’s expectations of a good performance from the 38-year-old Shakib in World Cup 2023 could not be fulfilled.
