Braithwaite on Shakib: Braithwaite says Knights made the right decision to bring back Shakib

Carlos Brathwaite, the all-rounder who won the T20 World Cup for West Indies, is happy to see the performance of the Bangladesh star. Shakib is being praised all over the world. Carlos, the star cricketer of West Indies, wants to see Shakib who has given good cricket in the last match of the league phase and even in the play-offs. In the discussion of ESPN, he said, ‘I am in favor of keeping Shakib in the XI. Knight Riders playoff matches will be held in Sharjah. Anyone from Andre Russell and Ferguson can be played. If Russell is fit, he will surely return to the team. But if he is not 100% fit, it is better not to return him to the eleven.

Kolkata Knight Riders will take on another Bangladeshi Mustafizur Rahman’s team, Rajasthan Royals, in their last match in the league on Thursday, October 7. It is certain that Shakib will be in the Knight XI. If Kolkata confirm the last four, they will have to play an eliminator match. But that match will be on the spin-friendly wicket of Sharjah. Moreover, the KKR team management is also keeping in mind the important role that Shakib can play with the bat.

Shah Rukh Khan’s team will get a lot of relief if they beat Rajasthan. But Brendon McCullum cautions that the rotten snail does not cut its legs. Moreover, even though skipper Eoin Morgan does not get runs, Dinesh Karthik is giving confidence with the bat. Varun Chakraborty and Sunil Narine bowled consistently well. All in all, the two-time champions are hopeful of getting a ticket to the last four.
