Pudhari Online Desk : Sri Lankan spinner Prabhat Jayasuriya did a great job in the Galle Test match against Ireland. He took the fastest 50 wickets in a test match as a spin bowler, 72 years old Vikram Modla. He achieved this milestone in 13 rounds of 7 tests. On the fifth day of the Test match, he took the wicket of Ireland’s star batsman Paul Stirling and scored a full half-century.
Yaadhi West Indies Maji Firkipatu Alf Valentine Ke Naavar Ha Vikram Hota. Vikram would have been created on 31 December 1951 by Rosie Valentine. He would have taken 50 wickets in 8 Tests. But Sri Lanka’s Jayasuriya had only managed to send 50 batsmen to the tent in the 7th Test by removing Valentine’s Vikram Modit. Apart from this, Jayasuriya (Prabath Jayasuriya) comes on par with former South African bowler Vernon Philander and former England bowler Tom Richardson. Or both the former veterans would have scored half-centuries in 7 normal times as fast bowlers.
Former Australian bowler Charlie Turner holds the record of completing the fastest half-century today. He would have taken 50 sacrifices with normalcy. Specially, in 1888, he would have done Vikram and even after 135 years, no one could turn around.
