No-one is a bigger fan of Shakib than me. If he is the iceman, then Akbar Ali is times 2. His elder sister (closest to him) passed away during the WC (later stage) giving birth to twins. First the family didn't tell him. Then he found out before the semis I believe. He still had the nerve to concentrate on his team and guide them to victory. To deal with a tragedy of this big magnitude at the age of 18 and still concentrate of work on hand. I wouldn't be able to nor can I think how to cope with it.

Suggesting Akbar Ali is twice as composed as Shakib is an example of why we are seen as the most delusional supporters in the world. Nonetheless, I hope he can translate his Youth cricket success to the behemoth that is International Cricket.
