Maybe that’s what destiny says! Shakib Al Hasan, the world’s best all-rounder of the Bangladesh team, was also given a ticket to return home due to a family crisis. But due to his indomitable desire to win the series against South Africa, Shakib canceled that ticket and stayed to play the last ODI.
And whether it was Shakib’s bat or the winning shot of the Bangladesh Itihasgarh series. The Tigers won by 27.3 overs in reply to South Africa’s 154 runs. In the 28th over, Kagiso Rabada cut through the point area and Shakib scored the winning shot.
Earlier, he made an effective contribution with 2 wickets at the cost of only 24 runs in 9 overs with the ball. However, his two children (Irram and Alayan), mother Shirin Akhter, and mother-in-law were admitted to the hospital. Especially the mother-in-law has to be taken out of the country at any time.
In the midst of this situation, Shakib decided to play the last match to win the series for the country. Not only did he play, but he also performed at-bat. That is why Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal did not forget to thank Shakib at the end of the match. He said Shakib was desperate to win the series.
Tamim’s comment, ‘In my opinion, Shakib’s coming here and playing was a big deal. Especially her two daughters, mother, and mother-in-law were admitted to the hospital. Yet he is playing for the country. This proves his character. He wanted to win the series. I thank him very much. He was great throughout the series. “
