Sri Lankan spinner Rangana Herath said he is aiming for a career total of 400 Test wickets after leading his side to a 259-run win over Bangladesh in the first Test in Galle Saturday.
Herath claimed 6-59 runs in the second innings as hosts Sri Lanka dismissed Bangladesh for 197 runs in less than two sessions to claim a crushing win, giving them a 1-0 lead in the two-Test series. His 23rd five or more wicket haul in an innings took his Tests tally to 366 wickets, allowing him to leapfrog New Zealand’s Daniel Vettori, who has 362 wickets to his name, to become Test cricket’s most successful left-arm spinner.
