The spinners in the two-match Test series between Pakistan and the West Indies, which was played at Multan, were very problematic to the hitters. The visitors appeared scratchy and down and out in the first innings, but the hosts were taken aback by some brilliant bowling from their spinners, especially Jomel Warrican. The South Asian powerhouses possessed players like Noman Ali and Sajid Khan to worry the West Indian hitters, but it was the spin combination of Jomel Warrican and Gudakesh Motie that was troublemaking Pakistan.
In the first Test, Sajid Khan, 31, was also named the player of the match. It was fantastic to watch Sajid's fearless and frightening demeanour throughout the series, in addition to his aggressive line and length as an off-spinner. As the third-highest wicket-taker in the series, he was one of Pakistan's top bowlers, taking 15 in the two games.

In the first Test, the Windies spinner was the most effective bowler, taking seven wickets in the second innings. But in the second Test, he improved and dominated the Pakistani batting order to win by 120 runs. In addition to his outstanding bowling, Warrican's revenge mentality against opponent spinner Sajid Khan was what made him stand out.
When the off-spinner was bowling to tailender Jomel Warrican in the second Test, the ball spun sharply into the right-hander as he tried a slog sweep, demonstrating Sajid's daring attitude. The ball veered enough to miss all three stumps, and Sajid Khan made the famous move of professional wrestler John Cena as he approached Warrican. After the miraculous delivery, Warrican could only return Sajid's smile.
West Indies hasn't defeated Pakistan in a Test match played in their own country since 1990. After years of dismal performance, the touring Windies team made a comeback this time.
