Delhi: The Indian team will play the first match of the two-match Test series against Bangladesh in Chennai from September 19. Fans were eagerly waiting for this series because Rishabh Pant is making a comeback in Test cricket after about 21 months.
At the same time, Virat Kohli will also be seen in Test cricket again after January 2024. All eyes will also be on Jasprit Bumrah, who will be seen playing for India after the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Bumrah will have a chance to create a big record in this match.
The right-arm fast bowler is just 3 wickets away from 400 wickets in international cricket. If he manages to take 3 wickets in the first Test against Bangladesh, he will become the 10th bowler to take 400 wickets in international cricket for India. Bumrah has so far taken 159 wickets in 36 Test matches, 149 in ODIs and 89 in T20Is, taking his total wicket count to 397.
Jadeja and Kuldeep can also make a big record
On the other hand, Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav will also have a chance to achieve historic achievements in this series. Jadeja is only 6 wickets away from completing 300 wickets in Test cricket, while Kuldeep Yadav is also just 6 wickets behind the figure of 300 wickets in international cricket. It will be interesting to see which of these bowlers achieves this important feat first.
Anil Kumble (956) tops the list of bowlers with most international wickets for India, while Bumrah has a chance to join the elite list of bowlers who have taken 400 wickets.
