Shakib wins MP seat with thumping win

Amidst all the noise following the viral video, Shakib would get a big win on Sunday, January 7 as he got a Parliament seat. The all-rounder, who was contesting the election for the Awami League from Magura-1, won by a huge margin of more than 150,000 votes, according to reports.

According to AFP, the district’s chief administrator Abu Naser Beg said that it was a ‘landslide victory.’

Shakib’s last international game for Bangladesh came during the World Cup against Sri Lanka. The all-rounder wasn’t in the best of form during the tournament as Bangladesh managed to win just two games under his leadership and finished eighth in the table.

Shakib managed to score just 186 runs in seven innings during the tournament and only got seven wickets and would also head back home ahead of Bangladesh’s final game due to an injury.
