Shakib has been in great form in the recent past. Keeping that in mind, it was surprising that he was not originally chosen at the IPL auction. Now that he has been chosen to represent the Bangalore Royal Challengers, it would be interesting how his spell with the Challengers pans out. Before getting too ahead, the first question that one must ponder is whether he would be able to get in the playing XI considering some of the foreign players already in the team. Nevertheless, it is a step in the one direction; that is forward.
