KKR all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has put a lot of stake on the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League and he is looking forward to making the most of it.
In an interview with ESPNcricinfo, Shakib said that he is looking to mount unprecedented records in IPL by scoring a century with the bat and claiming a fifer in the same match.
He went on to say that, the Kolkata Knight Riders have all their bases covered, but they will prove to humongous challenge for the opposition teams in the bowling department.
On the question of his previous best performances in the league, Shakib rated the 2014 edition as his best performance in the league.
Shakib has had a stellar career on the international stage and that his all-around abilities have always been rated highly by various franchisees based on his availability.
He picked the defending champions Mumbai Indians as the team he is more eager to play against in the upcoming edition of IPL.
Shakib was bought for by the KKR in the auction earlier this year for Rs 3.20 crore as the franchise went for someone who could offer balance to the team and also play an important role on slow and low pitches.
The KKR will commence their campaign in IPL 2021 on April 11 against the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
