The third player to accumulate 7000 runs and 300 wickets is Shakib Al Hasan.

Shakib Al Hasan of Bangladesh, an all-rounder, became the third player to achieve 7000 runs and 300 wickets in ODI cricket. When he hit 24 runs in the opening ODI match against Ireland in Sylhet, he joined Sanath Jayasuriya and Shahid Afridi on the list. He is Bangladesh's second-highest run scorer in the format, trailing only Tamim Iqbal (8146 runs).


Shakib received a single from Curtis Campher in the 20th over of Bangladesh's innings to achieve the milestone.

Shakib's four-wicket haul during Bangladesh's previous ODI against England earlier this month helped him achieve 300 career wickets. In the third ODI in Chattogram, he took Rehan Ahmed out to reach the milestone. He joined Daniel Vettori and Jayasuriya as the third left-arm spinner to accomplish the feat.

With 231 and 128 wickets, respectively, Shakib is Bangladesh's leading wicket-taker in Tests and T20 Internationals. With 443 wickets, Shakib is presently the fifth-highest wicket-taker in T20 cricket. He is one of just two players—the other is Dwayne Bravo—to have amassed 6000 runs, 400 wickets, and 50 captures in T20s.
