Most wickets in ENG vs IND Tests (Top 3)

The highly-anticipated Test series between England and India has been occupying the time of the cricket community of late. The 37th Test series between the two sides kickstarted on June 20.

There has been a whole lot of action which has transpired in the past. Batting and bowling both have been top notch whenever the two sides have met each other in the red-ball format, irrespective of the country in which the games have been played.

3) Bhagwath Chandrasekhar (95 wickets in 23 matches/38 innings)

Bhagwath Chandrasekhar stands third in the list of the most wickets taken across both sides. Back in his playing days, he played against only five oppositions in Tests, one of them being England. 23 of his 58 Tests during the leg-spinner’s career were played against England, in which Chandrasekar did exceedingly well.

2) Ravichandran Ashwin (114 wickets in 24 matches/45 innings)

Ashwin has taken the joint-most five-fers in the red-ball format against England, with eight to his name. As of now, he also stands as the only other bowler other than Anderson with 100-plus wickets. Ashwin has been a persistent headache for the English batters in Tests being played in India. The recently-retired off-spinner has consistently performed against England over more than a decade of playing Tests for the nation.

1) James Anderson (149 wickets in 39 matches/73 innings)

James Anderson is arguably one of the greatest fast bowlers to have ever played the game. He is one of the two after which the current series is named (Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy). He retired one short of the 150-wicket mark. When it came to playing in England, Anderson was always considered to be one of the greatest threats for India. With his menacing ability to swing the ball both ways, he consistently tormented the Indian batters over the years.
