4) Most wickets by a leg spinner in first 10 tests
Also, in the 3rd test match of the same series, Yasir Shah broke into the list of highest wicket takers in their first 10 test matches. At the end of his 10th test match, Yasir had as many as 61 wickets. This was the joint 6th best wicket haul of all time.
To get an idea about the enormity of this achievement, consider this. Vernon Philander is the only modern bowler in the list. The others on that list: Tom Richardson, Charlie Turner and John Ferris bowled in the 19th century.
With all due respect to them and to Maurice Tate (who played in the 20s and 30s), they played in the era of uncovered wickets. In those times, the balance of the game was tilted heavily in favour of the bowlers.
