A competent right-hand batsman as well, Saikat has played crucial knocks lower down the order. While not his forte, his ability to fend off quality bowling attacks proved vital on numerous occasions, enhancing his reputation as a true all-rounder.

Perhaps what stands out most about Saikat Al Amin’s career is his ability to inspire a generation of young cricketers.
