Shakib: A consistent performer in IPL 2018

SHAKIB Al Hasan has been performing very consistently from the beginning for IPL outfit Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). He has so far grabbed 10 wickets and scored 158 runs. He is wily and tactful in bowling and moderately aggressive with the willow and can rise to the occasion as was evident on May 6 when he played his last match. He joined the KKR ranks in 2011 and played for them till 2017 until he joined SRH. He was already being rated as one of the top all-rounders of the world. He is a vital cog in the team's middle-order and offers the captain a very dependable spin bowling option with his tight finger work.

As such, Shakib Al Hasan is one of the most dependable players in his new team. SRH is now at the top of the table and I am sure Shakib will live up to the expectations of his captain to win the trophy. The brilliant performance of Shakib will surely inspire his Bangladeshi teammates and those who are about to step into the international arena. IPL has been an ideal international platform for the prodigious all-rounder. Shakib and Mustafizur are the most successful cricketers of the country and a great source of inspiration for promising cricketers of the country.
