Top 5 Left-Arm Bowlers with Most Wickets in Test Cricket Ft. Mitchell Starc
Mitchell Starc took his 434th Test wicket, passing Rangana Herath as the leading left-arm bowler in Test history.
- On Thursday, Australian pacer Mitchell Starc surpassed Sri Lankan spinner Rangana Herath to become the most successful left-arm bowler in Test history, reaching 434 wickets by dismissing Shadman Islam during the Darwin Test.
- After Captain Pat Cummins elected to bat first, Australia collapsed for just 198 runs against Bangladesh's disciplined pace attack—their lowest Test total against the visiting side, eclipsing the previous low of 217 in 2017.
- Pacer Hasan Mahmud registered career-best figures of 6/55 from 17 overs, dismantling Australia's lineup while fellow bowlers Taskin Ahmed and Ebadot Hossain provided critical support as Steve Smith was dismissed for 71.
- Alongside the bowling dominance, Taskin completed 300 international wickets, helping put Bangladesh firmly in control of the opening innings in Darwin as the team pressed its advantage.
- The 36-year-old Starc now sits joint 11th on the all-time Test wicket-taker list alongside India legend Kapil Dev, requiring just six more wickets to break into the top 10 rankings.
