FATULLAH, 12 (BSS): Ace allrounder Shakib Al Hasan reached a new landmark as he grabbed 100th wicket at home during the third day of the one-off Test match against India at the Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium here today.
Shakib sent back Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma in quick succession during the first session of the third day to bring his team fight back into the match.
Dhawan was the first of the India wicket to fall when he lobbed an easy catch to Shakib after scoring 173 runs.
In his next over Shakib sent back Rohit Sharma with a peach of a delivery when the batsman went for a booming drive and failed to connect the bat properly.
When players left the field for lunch on day three, Shakib was the most successful bowler for his team picking up two wickets for 78 runs in 19 overs.
Shakib now has 101 wickets to his name at home in 28 matches. His bowling average is 35.09 with a strike-rate of 69.6.
His best bowling performance in an innings at home came against New Zealand in 2008. Shakib picked up seven wickets for 36 runs in 25.5 overs. He is now top of the list with 101 wickets at home. Mohammad Rafique is second with 66 wickets he took in his career.
