Shakib claims that he had set his eyes on achieving the double of a century and 10 wickets in a Test match a few weeks before the series started.

Quote:"I had my eye on this record ever since a journalist told me about it a few weeks ago," Shakib said, after winning the Man-of-the-Match award. "I was lucky and fortunate to have done it. This was not an easy wicket to bat on and the ball was turning a lot on the last day. I am glad to contribute to a series win, but it was a very good team effort. Hopefully we will continue to do well in future."
