He stormed into the elite double club by claiming the scalp of Aiden Markram of South Africa in the Tigers’ World Cup opener at The Oval on Sunday. His 75 in a partnership with Mushfiqur Rahim helped Bangladesh achieve their highest ODI total of 330 earlier in the day. Shakib took 199 matches to secure the double feat, a record previously held by Abdul Razzak. The Pakistani all-rounder needed 234 matches to reach the mark. Shakib went to the World Cup topping the ICC ranking for all-rounders in ODIs and has now beaten some of the biggest names the game has ever seen.
