Shakib Al Hasan Creates History, Becomes First-Ever Player In T20 World Cup To...

Bangladesh's seasoned all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan became the first player to take 50 wickets in the T20 World Cup. On a night when Bangladesh were outplayed in all facets of the game by their neighbours, India, Shakib managed to etch his name in the history books. Shakib was expensive in his three-over spell, giving away 37 runs at an economy of 12.30. His sole wicket in the game was of Indian skipper Rohit Sharma. The 37-year-old lured Rohit to slog the ball away. He pulled out a thick outside edge, and the ball landed safely in the hands of Jaker Ali.

Rohit became Shakib's 50th victim in the T20 World Cup, making him the first player to claim 50 scalps in his 42nd match in the marquee event.
