“I see better than what you see with glasses,” Sakib told the journalist

World’s best all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is on the run from India’s World Cup due to eye problems. Today this country is tomorrow that country; The doctor is showing, but it is not working. Shakib is unfamiliar with the bat due to eye problems despite his previous edge in bowling. He is working hard on this.

But, Shakib said, there is no problem with his eyes. On the contrary, he punched the journalist and said, ‘This is the one who repeatedly blinks, there is no problem with the eyes. I see better than what you see with glasses.’

This all-rounder of Rangpur Riders made such a comment in the press conference after the match against Sylhet Strikers on Saturday (February 3).

Rangpur beat Sylhet by 77 runs and came to the top of the points table. The team has 8 points from 4 wins in six matches. On the other hand, this is Sylhet’s sixth loss in the seventh match.

On Saturday, Shakib came out on top with the bat. He came back down for four by hitting a golden duck. Harry Tector was bowled lbw. Didn’t even ask for a review due to wasting time. Must leave the field. However, there have been flashes in the ball hand. He took 2 wickets with only 18 runs in 4 overs. With this, he went down to bat in 3 matches in BPL and scored 4 runs. In one match he took eight and in two matches he did not bat at all.

Shakib’s voice is full of regret for Rangpur because of not being able to bat, ‘The thing is, I have never done this in my life. Having to play with such a side has never happened. Of course, I feel for Rangpur, because they have brought me into the team with the hope, I can do half of it, I can’t do half.’

“Still, I have to thank them for the way they support me. I am proud to play in such a franchise. Because, the way they have taken care of me during this time, the way they have understood and controlled my situation, I have nothing else to say except to express my gratitude to them’- added Shakib.

He is working desperately to regain his lost form with the bat. The world’s best all-rounder continues to practice even on team rest days. He couldn’t score more than four runs in two matches in BPL, after that he is not batting anymore. Rangpur is playing him as a bowler.

Meanwhile, what Shakib is doing to get himself back. Comilla Victorians coach Salahuddin is also helping him in practice. Before this, he worked with Salahuddin repeatedly and got success. Keeping that continuity, he took refuge in the Guru this time too. Guru has also heard the message of hope.

Salahuddin said, ‘If he can’t come back (with the bat), he won’t play cricket. If he can’t come back then he won’t play cricket. I think he is still on the field because he can come back.’
