Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib al Hasan said that he is eyeing to end the World Cup on a high note and added that happens to be at a winning cause than it will be even more satisfying.
Ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan kept reaching milestone in the ongoing World Cup even though his side was out of the semifinal contention.
The Bangladesh talisman scored 66 and took 1-41 in his side’s losing cause against India on Tuesday and by doing so, he became the first player in the history to score 500 plus runs and scalp 10 plus wickets in one edition of World Cup.

Shakib was 24 runs shy of the 500-run mark in this World Cup when he began the match against India. He reached the milestone with a pull off Hardik Pandya delivery behind square towards deep fine for a single in the 18th over.
Shakib became the 10th batsman to have scored 500 runs in one edition of World Cup to join the elite list of players. He also is the first Bangladeshi player to do so.
‘’I will try to end the World Cup on a high note by performing the way I am doing till now because then I will feel much better from a personal point of view,’’ said Shakib.
‘’I always prefer to contribute to my team’s win. If I can do that, I will feel much satisfied,’’ he concluded. Shakib, who earlier became only the second player after India’s Yuvraj Singh to bag a fifer and also score a fifty during his match-winning performance against Afghanistan, has already scalped 11 wickets in the World Cup.
His 66 runs against India, however, took his tally to 542, two runs short of top placed Rohit Sharma.
The 32-year all-rounder has been in exquisite form in this World Cup, having already smashed two hundred and four fifties in the mega event.
