During Day 3 of the 5th IND vs ENG Test match, Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav became James Anderson's 700th scalp in Test cricket. With this, Anderson became the first-ever fast bowler to take 700 wickets in Test cricket. He is also the third player in Test cricket to get to the mark. As Anderson achieved history, members of the cricket fraternity took to social media to shower praise on him. Anderson's effort helped England end India's first-innings effort at 477 runs. ‘The First Time I Saw…’ Sachin Tendulkar Lauds ‘Simply Magnificent’ James Anderson After England Pacer Completes 700 Wickets in Tests During IND vs ENG 5th Test 2024.
