Shakib is the third cricketer in history to claim the feat after former South Africa all-rounder Jacques Kallis and ex-Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi. However, both the cricketers took more games than Shakib to clinch the feat. Kallis took 420 matches to reach the milestone while Afridi needed 477 games.
