He played 82 ODI matches to post the record. Shakib achieved the feat when he struck West Indies medium-pacer Raymon Reifer for a boundary towards the backward point during the second ODI against the Caribbean side on Friday. Shakib had already plucked 119 wickets at the SBNCS and is just second to Wasim Akram, who led the chart for most wickets in a single venue with 122 wickets in 77 matches at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in United Arab Emirates.

The premier all-rounder is also third on the list of players with most runs in a single venue while Tamim Iqbal led the chart with 2713 runs in 80 matches, including five hundreds and 18 fifties at the SBNCS.
