Shakib uses his cricketing intelligence to easily find gaps to milk singles and twos. He always knows his field settings, very observant of him. That's the secret behind his high strike rate. Of course, by playing international cricket over such a long period of time, he has figured out when and how to hit boundaries. Brain Freezes are rare in his case.
I rate Ravichandran Ashwin higher than Jadeja.
