Who is Bangladesh's all-time greatest batter? In addition to Tamim Iqbal, Mushfiqur Rahim will also be included here. However, many people may be at a loss to choose a third best option following these two. Despite the numbers, Shakib is widely considered to be Bangladesh's third-best hitter behind Tamim and Mushfiqur.

Shakib has made it possible for his fans to loudly voice their demand. Following in the footsteps of Tamim and Mushfiqur, he becomes only the third cricketer from Bangladesh to score 14,000 runs at the international level. The next two in the rankings, Mahmudullah Riyad and Mohammad Ashraful, are quite a ways behind Shakib.

Shakib needed just 29 runs to enter the 14-thousand club. In the third and final ODI against Afghanistan, Shakib played a crucial innings of 39 runs off 39 balls. He became the third Bangladeshi to score 14,000 runs while playing that innings.

Tamim Iqbal has the most runs for Bangladesh in international cricket. He has scored 15,148 runs in three formats so far. Mushfiqur Rahim in the second place scoring 14,310 runs in three formats. Both, however, have retired from T20 format. Shakib is still playing all three formats. So far he has 14, 010 runs in international cricket across three formats.

In the fourth place is Mahmudullah Riyad, whose international runs are 9,986, that is, only 14 runs less than 10,000. Ashraful is fifth in the list with 6,655 runs.
