Taijul Islam Draws Level With Shakib Al Hasan As Bangladesh Bowler With Most LBW Wickets in Tests, Achieves Feat After Removing Lahiru Udara During SL vs BAN 2nd Test 2025
Taijul Islam drew level with former captain Shakib Al Hasan's record of most leg-before wickets for Bangladesh in Test cricket. Taijul managed to get rid of the wicket well-set Lahiru Udara on Day 2 of the ongoing SL vs BAN 2nd Test 2025.
One of the best spinners in current times, Taijul Islam drew level with former captain Shakib Al Hasan's record of most leg-before wickets for Bangaldesh in Test cricket. Taijul managed to get rid of the wicket well-set Lahiru Udara on Day 2 of the ongoing SL vs BAN 2nd Test 2025 in Colombo to draw level with the legend Shakib. Initially given not out, Bangladesh opted for DRS, where replays suggested the ball would hit the middle-leg stump, and the on-field umpire had to overrule his decision to out, ending Lahiru Udara's handy 40-run knock for Sri Lanka. Interestingly, this is the second time in as many Tests that Islam has gotten the wicket of Lahiru Udara.
