Interestingly, Shakib has been the No 1 ranked all-rounder in ODIs for 324 weeks. His stay at the summit is longer than Swiss tennis great Roger Federer (237) and Serena Williams (316) of the US.
His streak is also way ahead of South Africa all-rounders Jacques Kallis (203) and Shaun Pollock (138) and England's Andrew Flintoff (113).
The Magura cricketer is the only all-rounder in history to top all three formats at the same time.
Overall, he has been the best all-rounder in all three formats for 38 weeks now. Besides his ODI run, Shakib stayed 164 weeks at the top in Tests and 105 in T20Is.
Shakib’s 164-week Test streak easily trumps Ashwin (102), Pakistan's Wasim Akram (15) and Flintoff (seven).
The champion Bangladesh cricketer is chasing Pakistan's Imran Khan (197), England's Sir Ian Botham (237) and New Zealand's Sir Richard Hadlee (308).
Cricket-based website ESPNcricinfo recently published a video of Shakib after he reached the summit of the all-rounders' ranking in all three formats.
Ever since his international bow in 2006, Shakib has come a long way, establishing himself as one of the world's most sought-after cricketers.
As he continues to grow as a cricketer with his extraordinary performances with both bat and ball, he has also helped Bangladesh to shine in world cricket as the Tigers recently won in their historic 100th Test match against Sri Lanka at their own den.
Shakib’s all-round display saw the Tigers clinch a memorable victory to become only the fourth team in history to win in their 100th Test. He picked up six wickets and smashed a century and was also named the man of the series.
The way this immensely talented and gifted cricketer is consistently performing for Bangladesh, there is no doubt he will break and create many more records in the international cricket arena in the coming days.
