Bangladesh spinner Taijul Islam reaches a major personal milestone in the ongoing Test against Zimbabwe by taking his 19th five-wicket haul in Test cricket. Multiple outlets report that this achievement moves him ahead of Mitchell Starc in the all-time list for left-arm bowlers with the most five-wicket returns in Tests. The record also places Taijul among the leading left-arm spin and pace options globally, with one report stating he draws level with Shakib Al Hasan.
While Taijul’s performance stands out, Zimbabwe’s result in the match is also highlighted. According to the Times of India, Zimbabwe secure their biggest-ever Test victory by an innings and 85 runs despite Taijul’s individual success. Overall, the coverage focuses on Taijul’s ascent to the top tier of left-arm five-for makers, while also noting that the match ends decisively in Zimbabwe’s favor.
