INDIA didn't just win the first Test at Chennai against Bangladesh. In the process, they also stopped a long run of giving sometimes gifting - wickets to left-arm spinners. Over the last five or so years in India, the likes of Lasith Embuldeniya and Praveen Jayawickrama (Sri Lanka), Jack Leach and Tom Hartley (England), Ajaz Patel (New Zealand) and Matthew Kuhnemann (Australia) have either played their part in famous wins, taken loads of wickets or been lone reasons to cheer in otherwise dull campaigns for visiting teams. The last time the hosts didn't concede a single wicket to a left-arm spinner was also to Bangladesh at Indore in 2019. Taijul Islam toiled unsuccessfully as he gave away 120 runs in 28 overs.
