considering his contribution to our cricket no1 even comes close. No matter all they hype abt siddikur rahman he will not be a big name in our sports simply because he is not AMONG the best. The reason why our cricket team is famous in our own country because theyve had success and remeber, we are among the top 10 teams in world cricket at least. And as for shakib, he is so popular because he is the best among the best, being top allrounder in both ODIs and T20s is no small feat, and that too with hardly much competition. And whenever he losts the title, he was at least 2nd on the list and returned to the top soon again.
People may claim the reason why sakib is no. 1 allrounder because their are so few quality allrounders nowadays. But they forget the workload of cricket nowadays. PLayers nowadays have to play around the world continuously and shift formats which is not easy. Plus, nowadays being able to field well is a must unlike in the past where players didnt give much care about fielding. So we should salute the present quality allrounders because they are playing yet so much and yet doing the job in both departments, they should deserve some salute. Batting at no. 5 and bowling his full quota takes a lot of toll on your body, so no matter how lazy he is, he is the most animated guy in bangladesh cricket
