Indore Test: On the second day of the third Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023 (BGT 2023), Indian bowler Umesh Yadav recorded a special record in his name. He completed his 100 Test wickets at home grounds as soon as he bowled Mitchell Starc during the Australian innings. He is the 13th Indian bowler to achieve this feat. Talking about fast bowlers, he is just the 5th Indian fast bowler to do so.
In the Test match being played in Indore between India and Australia (Ind vs AUS), Umesh Yadav bowled brilliantly in the first session of the second day, despite having a completely spin track. He bowled just 5 overs in Australia’s second innings, giving away 12 runs and taking 3 wickets. Due to his strong bowling, the Australia team could not take much lead on the basis of the first innings. Australia’s team was all out for 197 runs here, while the Indian team’s first innings was limited to 109 runs.
