First Time In 92 Years: Kuldeep Yadav Achieves Sensational Record In Dharamsala
It was a sensational performance from spinner Kuldeep Yadav as he took a five-wicket haul to put India in control on Day 1 of the fifth Test match against England in Dharamsala on Thursday. The left-arm wrist spinner was in tremendous form as he finished with figures of 5/72 to bundle out England for just 218 after a solid start. In the process, Kuldeep became the fastest Indian cricket team bowler to take 50 Test wickets with respect to ball taken. Kuldeep took just 1871 balls to reach the milestone with Axar Patel (2205) and Jasprit Bumrah (2520) behind him in the list. This was also the first time in India's Test history that a bowler was able to complete 50 Test wickets by bowling less than 2000 deliveries.
