All-rounder Shakib has been in brilliant form with the ball off late in T20 cricket even though he wasn’t too prolific in the wickets column for Kolkata Knight Riders in the recent Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 in the United Arab Emirates.

Shakib played the final four games of KKR’s campaign in place of the injured Andre Russell and picked 2 wickets and scored 9 runs.
