England pacer James Anderson became the first bowler in Test cricket history to take 700 Test wickets. Anderson reached the milestone when he took the wicket of Kuldeep Yadav. Anderson, who is the oldest player in Test history, started his Test career in 2002 against Zimbabwe and has been troubling batters with his menacing swing from the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting to Virat Kohli and Kane Williamson. He has achieved a feat that no other pacer can dream of. The closest to his record wickets is his compatriot Stuart Broad, who has already retired from Test cricket. Overall, Anderson is the third highest wicket-taker in Test cricket history. The two bowlers above him are spinners Muthaiah Muralidharan and Shane Warne. Anderson started the fifth Test with 698 wickets in his kitty, it was not an ideal start for him with the ball in Dharamsala as he was on the receiving end of Shubman Gill's masterclass. However, in the end, the veteran pacer did manage to get the better of the Indian youngster to make it 699 for himself. Anderson missed the first Test against India in the ongoing tour but England recalled him in the playing 11 for the second Test and since then they didn't bother to drop him. The veteran pacer has taken 10 wickets thus far in the series and has troubled the Indian batters with his swinging deliveries.
