New Delhi. Spin bowlers did wonders in Test cricket on Thursday (24 October). From India to Pakistan, spin bowlers dominated. Indian spin bowlers Washington Sundar and R Ashwin together took all 10 wickets in the first innings of New Zealand, while three spin bowlers of Pakistan together created an outcry by taking all 10 wickets in the first innings of England. It is a coincidence that the spin bowlers of India and Pakistan did wonders on the same day. The spinners of both the countries showed the magic of their spin and left the visiting batsmen helpless.
Indian spin all-rounder Washington Sundar returned to play Test after almost 4 years. Sundar was not included in the first Test squad. After losing the first test match, he suddenly entered Team India. Sundar, who was included in Team India under the wild card, got a chance in the playing eleven in the second test and he took 7 wickets alone in the first innings of the Pune test against New Zealand. R Ashwin took 3 wickets. Sundar took seven wickets for 59 runs in 23.1 overs, while Ashwin took three wickets for 64 runs in 24 overs. Sundar and Ashwin bundled out New Zealand's first innings for 259 runs. This is the fourth best performance by an Indian spinner in a Test innings against New Zealand. This is the best bowling of Washington's first-class career.
