Bangladesh’s super-star Shakib Al Hasan has slowly made a huge fan base for him around the globe because on his excellent skills always trying for a win and always hungry to perform better and better. 2014 was a mixed year for Shakib Al Hasan when he was banned by BCB to take part in any cricket leagues but he came back, hard on his opposition. He achieved a unquiet feat against Zimbabwe in November when he became only the 3^rd all-rounder after Sir Ian Botham and Imran Khan to score a century and take 10-wickets in the same test match. When bowling, He demanded good footwork from batsmen but the opponents were lazy at times and genuinely flummoxed by the best cricketer ever produced by Bangladesh. When batting, he batted like a giant, making the bowlers pay for his wicket.
