In recent Test matches between India-New Zealand in Pune and Pakistan-England in Rawalpindi, spin bowlers have made an impact, shattering records and setting new milestones. Indian spinners Washington Sundar and Ravichandran Ashwin impressed with dominating performances, while Pakistan's spin attack led by Sajid Khan dictated England's innings in Rawalpindi.

In the high-stakes Test matches in Pune and Rawalpindi, spin bowlers have emerged as the dominant force, rewriting the record books and crafting memorable performances. In Pune, India's selection of three spinners, notably Washington Sundar, stood out as he delivered career-best figures to dismantle New Zealand.

The Indian team, opting for a spin-heavy lineup, reaped rewards as Sundar and Ashwin took all ten Kiwi wickets on day one. Sundar's masterful spell reduced New Zealand from 197/3 to 259 all out, etching his name among Indian cricket legends with his best-ever Test figures.

Meanwhile, in Rawalpindi, Pakistan's spinners kept England in check. England suffered a stunning collapse, all thanks to the spinning prowess led by Sajid Khan. The Test saw history in the making as spinners bowled the entire innings, a rare occurrence only seen before in 1882.
