Legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar lauded England's James Anderson for completing 700 Test wickets and becoming the first-ever pace bowler to do so, saying that a fast bowler playing for two decades and picking 700 wickets sounded like fiction but Anderson had made it happen. Anderson etched his name in history books on Saturday, becoming the first-ever pacer in the history of the sport to complete 700 wickets in Test cricket and overall only the third bowler to do so. The ageless English pace wonder, who will be turning 42 this July, achieved this milestone during India's fifth and final Test against England in Dharamsala.

Ben Stokes Joins Virat Kohli In Pushing For DRS Rule Change. England Great Counters

England captain Ben Stokes once again voiced his frustration at the 'umpire's call' rule in the Decision Review System that continues to haunt his team on the tour of India. Stokes, reflecting on England opener Zak Crawley's dismissal in the second innings of the Rajkot Test, suggested how the 'umpire's call' cost the visitors a wicket despite the fact that the ball 'was clearly missing the stumps'.
