Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, who has been on a
record-breaking spree in the 2019 International Cricket Council (ICC)
World Cup, created yet another record on Friday July 05,2019 by becoming only the
third player to cross the 600-run mark in a single edition of the
marquee event.
Shakib, who was just 58-run short of the milestone heading into Bangladesh's last group stage fixture of the World Cup 2019, achieved the same by cutting an outside off delivery from Pakistan's Shaheen Afridi towards the third man for two runs in the 31st over of the innings.
Shakib eventually got dismissed for a 64-run knock off 77 balls as the Bangladesh all-rounder finished his campaign at the quadrennial event with a total of 606 runs from the eight matches he played in this edition.
By achieving the milestone, he became only the third batsman to score over 600 runs in the single edition of the World Cup. While the former Indian opener Sachin Tendulkar amassed 673 runs in the 2003 edition of the tournament, Mathew Hayden of Australia amassed 659 in 2007 World Cup.
Overall, Shakib Al Hasan who has smashed a total of 1,146 runs in the 29 matches is also standing at the 9th place in the list of all-time highest run-getters of the CWC to stand only behind -
Besides this, Shakib also became the only player in the history of
the World Cup to have scored 600 runs and bagged 11 wickets in a single
edition of the tournament.
