Bangladesh’s spin coach Sunil Joshi said that he was elated with the performance of Shakib al Hasan and urged that others need to compliment him in the series deciding third Twenty20 international against Windies at Dhaka on December 22.
Shakib performed single handedly in the do-or-die match against Windies as help the host level the series as they were trailing by 1-0 margin by picking five wickets and scoring unbeaten 42 runs.

‘‘I think Sakib is an outstanding player. We all know that how talented he is. Not only in Bangladesh, if you look at across all formats, be it Test cricket, be it one-day cricket or be it Twenty20 cricket,’’ said Josjhi,
‘’I think if you look at twenty20 overs game and four overs 5-20 and you can’t ask more from that being a spin coach. I think that’s why Sakib puts eight of them in different club category,’’ said Joshi adding that the bowlers need to put up an unified effort to clinch the series.
‘‘I think Twenty20 format is a batsmen’s game. There is very less for the bowlers. And when a bowler does well you have to give credit to him. Of course it’s the bowling unit which actually matters, not only the fast bowlers, the spinners also matters,’’ said Joshi
‘’You look at Mehedi got a crucial wicket, Riyad came in and chipped in. I think the way we started as a batting unit, bowling unit and fielding unit as well, it’s a combine of all the departments that win match for us,’’ he said
