Shakib Al Hasan of Bangladesh became the first player in his country to take 300 wickets in One-Day Internationals.

The milestone was reached by Shakib, the top all-rounder in white-ball cricket, during Bangladesh’s 50-run victory over England in the third ODI in Chattogram.

The 35-year-old took four wickets during the game, making him the first player from Bangladesh to reach 300 wickets overall and the 14th overall in men’s 50-over cricket.

If Shakib keeps playing until the upcoming ICC ODI World Cup, which is scheduled for later this year in India, he has a chance to surpass many of the game’s all-time greats on the list of leading wicket-takers in the ODI format. Muttiah Murlitharan of Sri Lanka and Wasim Akram of Pakistan are ranked first and second, with 534 and 502 wickets, respectively.

The left-hander displayed great all-around heroism throughout the game, leading his team in scoring with an outstanding 75 before upending England’s batting order with stellar bowling figures of 4/35 from 10 overs.

Bangladesh moved up to fourth place in the Super League standings following the victory, and the top eight teams will automatically qualify for the Cricket World Cup at the end of the year.
