Shakib in the IPL

Shakib lifted by his teammates - The winning moment

Shakib's IPL, 2012

Shakib made his IPL debut in 2011 playing for Kolkata Knight Riders against Rajasthan Royals taking two wickets of Amit Paunikar and Shane Watson. Earlier in the auction he was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders for US$ 425,000.

Though he did not get enough opportunity in season 4, he played 8 games in this season taking 12 wickets and scoring 91 runs. This includes two of his match winning performance which earned him the title of "Man of The Match" for these two matches. He also made an important contribution in the all important final against the strong Chennai Super Kings. He and Manoj Tiwary played the winning knock where Shakib scored 11 of just 7. 

Shakib is satisfied with this tour of IPL or not, I don't know. I am surely not satisfied. He should have been given chance to play more games. According to me he was the most important man in the KKR squad.

In the end Shakib must be a proud man to be the champions of this season. My good wishes are always with Shakib. You can wish him too by commenting below.
