Bangladesh spinner Taijul Islam achieved a special personal milestone despite his team’s hefty defeat in the one-off Test match against Zimbabwe. Left-arm spinner registered 7 for 138 in the opposition’s first innings in Harare Sports Club and this also became his 19th five-wicket haul in the format. The left-arm spinner's haul of 7 wickets came off 40.2 overs which put him amongst the leading left-arm bowlers in Test history. His efforts though impressive, weren't enough to prevent the hosts from achieving a historic innings and 85 run victory. With this latest haul Taijul also drew level with former Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan in terms of five-wicket hauls in Test cricket with 19 to his name. He also overtook Australia’s Mitchell Starc who has 18 five-fors in Tests. What is even more remarkable is the pace at which Taijul has reached his 19th five-wicket haul. Bangladesh’s Taijul completed his 19th five-wicket haul in just his 107th Test innings. Shakib required 121 innings to reach the 19 five-fors while Starc needed 202 innings to bag his 18 five-fors.
