The veteran recorded his 13th fifty in the format to help Bangladesh close in on T20 World Cup Super 8s qualification. Shakib went on to finish undefeated on 64 off 46 deliveries having crunched nine fours. This comes after former India batter Virender Sehwag had questiond Shakib's place in the team.
Sehwag had claimed that Shakib should have retired from the T20 format long ago and even insisted that his numbers in the shortest format of the game has been 'shameful' lately.
"During the last World Cup, I thought he should no longer be picked for the T20 format.
Time for retirement came a long time ago. You are such a senior player, you were the captain of this team. You should actually be ashamed of your recent numbers. You should come forward and announce yourself that enough is enough, I'm retiring from this format," Sehwag said on Cricbuzz.
"If you are picked in the World Cup squad for your experience, then show that it was actually worth it.
You need to spend some time at the crease at least. You are not Adam Gilchrist or Mathew Hayden. Hooks and pulls are not your strengths You are a Bangladeshi player. You play according to your strength," he added.
However, Shakib hit back at Sehwag with his one word response after the match against the Netherlands. On being asked to share his views on Sehwag's remarks on him, the 37-year-old referred to the former India opener as "who?".
A video of the same has gone viral on social media.
