When Saurashtra left-arm Dharmendrasinh Jadeja was asked after Wednesday’s play in the Ranji Trophy final about his Vidarbha counterpart Aditya Sarwate running through his team’s top-order, he attributed it to the same strategy. Of the 13 wickets that fell on the fourth day, seven went to the left-arm spin duo. What underscores the success of left-arm spinners this Ranji season is this: the top five wicket-takers are all left-arm orthodox spin bowlers and each one of them has taken over 50 wickets. He can move up with five more Saurashtra wickets on offer. This is the template India and Saurashtra left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja too follows.
