Umesh Yadav: Umesh Yadav became the 13th Indian bowler to take 100 Test wickets at home.

 

Indoor Test: On the second day of the third Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023 (BGT 2023), Indian bowler Umesh Yadav registered a unique record to his name. He completed his 100 Test wickets on home grounds soon after he bowled Mitchell Starc in Australia’s innings. He is the 13th Indian bowler to achieve this feat. Talking about fast bowlers, he is the 5th Indian fast bowler to do so.

In the Test match between India and Australia (Ind vs AUS) at Indore, Umesh Yadav bowled brilliantly in the first session of the second day, despite a completely spin track. He bowled only 5 overs in Australia’s second innings and conceded 12 runs and took 3 wickets. Due to his strong bowling, the Australian team could not get a big lead based on the first innings. Here, the Australian team was bowled out for 197 runs, while the Indian team’s first innings was limited to 109 runs.
