T20 World Cup 2022: Rating Captaincy of Super 12 teams in Week 1

11. Shakib Al Hasan - 3/10

Bangladesh showed faith in Shakib’s leadership skills by appointing him the captain of Bangladesh again. With Shakib holding the rein, Bangladesh were looking for some plucky displays in the T20 World Cup 2022 as the veteran in his glorifying career has played a major role in the evolution of Bangladesh cricket.

But so far in the tournament, Bangladesh haven't succeeded in doing anything big under Shakib’s captaincy. In the first match of the tournament against The Netherlands, the lackluster batting could have lost the team points and Shakib himself in the game didn’t set standards for other players as the left-hander got out by playing a negligent shot. 

Against South Africa, the skipper again failed to get runs with his bat. His laxity as a skipper and player was visible as the all-rounder didn’t review the umpire’s decision of lbw against him. Earlier, Riley Rossouw punished Bangladesh bowlers for going to the field with poor tactics. Since the last World Cup, nothing much has changed for the Bangladesh team. Their tendency of struggling against big teams continued under Shakib too.
