Shakib among T20’s top-10 all-rounders

Premier Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan secured a place among the greatest T20 all-rounders in history, joining an elite group of players who have dominated the shortest format with both bat and ball.

From 2014 to 2022, the left-hander consistently featured among the top performers in T20 cricket. One of the defining moments of his career came during a Bangladesh in 2015, when his outstanding all-round display lifted his rating to an impressive 420 points.

Pakistan’s veteran all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez holds a place with a peak rating of 452 points in 2013, while his national team senior colleague Shahid Afridi, known for his explosive batting and leg-spin bowling, reached a peak rating of 337 points in 2009.

Among other notable names on the list is Australia’s all-rounder Glenn Maxwell, who achieved 375 points in 2016 after a dominant performance against Sri Lanka. 

Former Sri Lankan opener Sanath Jayasuriya reached 366 points during a match against New Zealand in 2010.

India’s veteran all-rounder, Yuvraj Singh, occupies a position with a rating of 363 points, while Afghanistan’s Mohammad Nabi holds with 361 points after producing a scintillating 84 off 54 balls against Bangladesh in 2019.

Former Australian cricketer David Hussey (337 points in 2012) and Zimbabwe’s Sikandar Raza (328 points) complete the top-10 list of the most influential T20 all-rounders.
