Which other players had as much influence as Shakib Al Hasan on the World Cup campaign of any team?

[Titan24]

Shakib Al Hassan is almost performing like a one man army with both bat and ball. He is highest wicket taker as well as run scorer for his team and also the highest run scorer of WC 19 at the moment with average of 119. He has also taken 10 wickets for his team with an impressive economy.

As the title says which other players created this much impact on the WC campaign of any team?

 

[IAJ]

Shakib is the best allrouder in the World, fantastic player.

 

[Executioner]

This is already the greatest ever allround performance in world cup history by any player.

Before the tournament he had the stats of a budding ATG but casual fans didn't rate him. Now I don't think there is not an inch of doubt he is one of the greatest allrounder ever

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Shakib is a real allrounder and he is damn good. He is proving again and again that he is an impact player.

 

[Captain caveman]

Shakib is the first true world class bangladeshi player!
Shakib should inspire generations of bengali players, just like imran khan and sachin tendulkar did for their countries!

 

[andy0204]

i think steve waugh in 1987 world cup and yuvraj singh 2011

 

[Stewie]

For Pakistan, Amir has so far been fairly instrumental albeit not at the same level as Shakib.

Warner for Australia.

 

[Rayyman]

Afridi in 2011, Wahab in 2015, Amir in 2019

 

[BaankeJi]

Lance Klusener in 1999 wc.

 

[DeadBall]

Kane Williamson is doing it for New Zealand.

 

[satheesh]

Kapil Dev in 83. He captained the team, avg:ed 60+ with the bat at 108 str, bowling avg: of 20 with 2.9 econ. Fielded brilliantly thru out and won the world cup beating the GOAT team at the age of 24..

 

[gazza619]

Shakib has made his mark big time.

 

[topspin]

Shakib has been one of the best performers in thios competition, however Kane Williamson is my MOTM so far though, his performances have been the difference from losing against South Africa, Bangladesh and West Indies to winning all three by the narrowest of margins.

 

[Mainul]

Already the best allrounder performance in world cup history. Amazing player

 

[Hasan123]

I think Archer has made a big difference for England. Everyone was talking about England bowling being weak , in this tournament their bowling has been excellent. Wood and Archer are 2 of the leading wicket takers . When we beat them it was due to them dropping chances and their batting. Against Sri Lanka their batting cost them.

If England did go on to win the WC, I would say Archer will play a big part.

Other influential players for their teams have been , Williamson, Rohit and Pandya, and Starc.

Wickets are getting dryer with more sun. Feel like from here on it going to be all about spinners..

For me this has been the best all round performance in world cup history. Being great in all 4 departments in a single world cup, namely batting,bowling, fielding & captaincy. I don't think of any other all rounder being great in all 4 in a single world cup.

 

[Hasan123]

For England that will bring Adil Rashid into the game. England's bowling was supposedly meant to be their weakness in this tournament. But funnily has not been talked on PP.

True, I doubt any all rounder or player had such an impact in every single WC match for any team with such consistency as Shakib has done till now.

Thanks for the input with such a good example of an all round performance in the WC. Yes I agree that being the captain and doing so well in all departments at the age of 24 is extraordinary.

Klusener in 1999 is the only contender

Problem with England is that there batting prefers ball coming onto bat instead of slow and dry wickets. It was one of the reasons of their downfall on CT17 semi.

 

[Titan24]

Klusener in 1999 is the only contender

Lance Klusener in 1999 wc.

No doubt Klusner in 1999 would be remembered as one of the most memorable performances throughout the tournament.

We were already aware of that. But I saw a lot of posts about how rubbish England's bowling was. Their bowling has been very good in this tournament. And they deserve credit for that.

 

[WC-Passion]

Potential candidates:

Shahid Afridi - 2011
Yuvraj Singh - 2011
Aravinda de Silva - 1996
Lance Klusener - 1999
Gary Gilmour - 1975
Kapil Dev - 1983
Steve Waugh - 1987

 

[JaDed]

Kapil Steve Waugh Klusener Yuvi Shakib -- all of em all giving complete effort with bat and ball.

 

[ak619]

I am reminded of another left-handed all-rounder who played a massive role in helping his team lift the Cup...

The one and only Yuvraj Singh!

Actually Shakib is having a very similar tournament to Yuvi.

Fun fact: the only other player to score 50+ and take a 5wh in a WC match is - you guessed it right - Yuvi pa!

 

[pillionrider]

Shakib having the World Cup that will hopefully get him the recognition he deserves. I know he's been ranked high and all that, but you only hear Stokes this, Stokes that, most of the time.

Yuvraj had a great 2011 campaign but if you're talking of one-man campaigns, the 2003 WC was Sachin's.

 

[Shafi]

There is no one not even near to Sakib. He is like a one man band. Without him BD would be no. 10 in this World Cup. he is the best bowler, fielder and Batsman in the team. Players like him comes once in a generation. You can work as hard as you want but without talent you can never go far. Our Babar is the best example. He works so hard but no where near to any of the modern day batsman like Rohit, Kohli, Sakib as a batsman.......

 

[Indiafan]

Sachin was imperious in 96 and 2003

 

[LongHorn]

Just a note that when Bangladesh came 2nd in the Asia Cup, losing to India by a small margin, we were missing Shakib for the crucial games vs Pakistan and Afghanistan

 

[Ram Shekhar]

This has been a great performance so far but will be rated as the greatest ever performance if Shakib can help Bangladesh qualify for semifinals. Sangakkara hit 4 consecutive centuries in 2015 but hardly anyone remembers it because it didn't mean much in the bigger context of the world cup..

So well done to Shakib so far!

 

[Romali_rotti]

I have a lot of respect for Shakib atm, he has been amazing, probably the best player in the tournament so far.. However he is nowhere close to the greatest WC impact/influential player; Kapil Dev. Dev was 24 when he led India to a world cup win over the greatest ODI side in the history of the sport (WI of the 80s). The 83 WC win led by Dev, put Indian cricket on the map, he was also the player of that tournament I believe, even Imran could not achieve such a feat....

well said ..... that 175*(138 balls) at 17/5 from a 24 year old captain in a do or die situation !!! still can't digest how he could play that knock.... the end win margin of mere 31 runs proved how clutch was that knock.... to score 175 in a total of 266 when it was almost certain to pack bags and go home ...simply an alpha male knock.Then to come back all the way and knock down the GOAT team to win the cup......stuff of dreams from the legendary allrounder.

 

[saeed5646]

Shakib have refined his legacy during this worldcup. Unfortunately his teammates are not supporting his cause .Very very good allrounder he along with musrafe have took bd to new heights with partly job by tamim,musfiq and Muhamadullah

 

[PakLFC]

No one from the Pak 1992 winning side?

 

[happydavy]

Kapil Dev in 83. He captained the team, avg:ed 60+ with the bat at 108 str, bowling avg: of 20 with 2.9 econ. Fielded brilliantly thru out and won the world cup beating the GOAT team at the age of 24..

Not to forget, a knock of 175 when India was 17/5. A superb catch to dismiss Richards in the final when he seemed to be taking the game away from India. Kapil paaji was a lion. His problem was he achieved too much too early. When someone wins a world cup at the age of 24 as captain, then whats left for him...

 

[Titan24]

No one from the Pak 1992 winning side?

Wasim was extraordinary and highest wicket taker in that but in terms of creating impact with both bat and bowl and being the highest run scorer as well as highest wicket taker for his team is a rare feat which Shakib has done here.

 

[ManFan]

Aravinda De Silva in 1996.

True. There have been many performances but the kind of impact Shakib has created for BD is remarkable as without his performances BD wouldnt have fared this well which shows the intensity of the impact.
