Wisden names Shakib as the 2nd MVP of the 21st century in ODI

|| CF Correspondent ||

Bangladesh ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has been named as the second ‘Most Valuable Player’ (MVP) of the 21st century in ODI cricket by Wisden Cricket Monthly.

The magazine published the MVP of the modern century in their 33 edition where it was done with a joint study with the cricket statistics organization Cricviz.

Considering the statistics of the last 20 years, the over century-old cricketers’ Almanack, Wisden, has published this credible list.

It has been said that the 33-year-old all-rounder is the second-best ODI cricketer in the world. Besides, Shakib’s position is in No 6 in Test cricket.

However, the left-hander’s name could not be found in the top 10 in the T20 list. Former skipper of England, as well as pace-bowling all-rounder Andrew Flintoff tops the ODI list of 'Most Valuable Player' of the 21st Century although Flintoff is only 0.5 points more than Shakib.

Former Sri Lankan legendary leg-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan is named top as the MVP of Test and Rashid Khan topped the list in the T20Is.
