The bowler who messed with Virat wreaked havoc, destroyed half the team single-handedly, and hit the fastest double century of wickets.

The first match of the 2-match Test series between Bangladesh and South Africa is being played in Dhaka. In this match, Bangladesh's team came without Shakib Al Hasan. But left-arm spinner Taijul Islam, who once used to take on Virat Kohli, did not let his absence be felt. He single-handedly destroyed the entire South African team. Taijul took 5 wickets for 49 runs in 15 overs on the first day of the game. With this fifer, he not only brought Bangladesh back but also completed a double century of wickets in his Test career.

Bangladesh won the toss and decided to bat first. But this decision of captain Nazmul Hasan Shanto proved costly for the team. South Africa bowled out Bangladesh for just 106 runs with lethal bowling. After this, the magic of Taijul Islam was seen. He gave 5 blows to South Africa one after the other and brought Bangladesh back.

With this, Taijul also broke Shakib Al Hasan's record. He has become the fastest Bangladeshi bowler to take 200 wickets in Tests. Earlier this record was in the name of Shakib, who achieved this feat in 54 Tests, while Taijul has achieved this feat in just 48 Tests. Let us tell you that he is only the second bowler from Bangladesh to take 200 Test wickets.

Had a fight with Virat

In the year 2022, Team India went on a tour of Bangladesh. During this, a 2-match Test series was played, in which there was a fight between Taijul Islam and Virat Kohli. He had dismissed Virat in the first Test match. After this, there was a great drama between Kohli and him in the second Test. Actually, when Virat was out, Taijul came in front of him and celebrated and said something to him. This angered Virat and a heated argument started. Then Shakib came and calmed the matter.

South Africa took the lead.

After bowling out Bangladesh for 106 runs, South Africa started batting. But their start was not good either. They lost their first wicket at a score of just 9. After this, Tony De Georgi along with Tristian Stubbs took charge of the innings. But Stubbs got out at a score of 50 runs. After this, South Africa kept losing wickets continuously. The team lost its third wicket at 72 runs, fourth and fifth at 99 runs. At the same time, South Africa lost its sixth wicket at a score of 108 runs. In this way, by the end of the day's play, South Africa scored 140 runs at the loss of 6 wickets and took a lead of 34 runs.
