It would not be wrong to call him one of the world's best left-arm spinners. Rangana Herath is going on a new height after showing the old bone velkys. Pakistani leg-spinner Wasim Akram has been left out of this spinner by outing Bangladesh's last batsman Taijul Islam on the third day of the Dhaka Test. Herath is one of the top left-handers in Test cricket, now Herath is at the top.
Herath did not get any wicket in the first innings of the second Test in Dhaka. But Herath returned to the second innings in the second innings today. Tigers batting line up, taking four wickets alone alone. Sri Lanka have won the match for two days, and the series also has been won by his superb bowling.
Herath has also won an individual as well as a personal achievement. He has been out of the left-handed bowlers with four wickets, all of them. Pakistan's Wasim Akram, who was the highest wicket-taker in Test cricket till date, Herat did not share the record of Wasim, Herat took the record for himself.
Wasim was the highest wicket-taker in the bowlers with 414 wickets. Herath surpasses Wasim Akram's record by replacing Taizul Islam He now holds the record for being the highest wicket taker with 415 wickets in the left-handers.
Herath's Test debut came in 1999 against Australia. The left-arm spinner has played in 162 innings in 89 Tests so far. 415 wickets taken
