Shakib fastest to 5k runs, 200 scalps

Shakib Al Hasan became the quickest to the double of 5,000 runs and 200 wickets during the first ODI against South Africa yesterday.

The champion cricketer, who was 17 runs shy of 5,000, reached the milestone when he ran Dwaine Pretorius down to third man in the 20th over.

Shakib was dismissed after scoring 29 but not before becoming the quickest to score 5,000 runs and picking 200 wickets in his 178th match. However he had reached the 200-wicket mark against South Africa in Chittagong in June 2015 and with 224 wickets, Shakib is just the fifth player in ODI history to achieve the double.

The all-rounder surpassed South Africa's legendary all-rounder Jacques Kallis, who reached the feat in 221 ODIs.

The players who reached the milestone before Shakib are a who's who of limited-overs cricket: Sanath Jayasuriya, Kallis, Shahid Afridi and Abdul Razzak.

Shakib is now also the second Bangladesh batsman to go past 5,000 ODI runs -- Tamim Iqbal was the first Bangladesh batsman to reach that mark in October 2016 during the third ODI against England in Chittagong. Shakib has taken 168 innings, while Tamim did it in 10 innings fewer.
