The third position in the list also features Harbhajan Singh, who, along with pacer Zaheer Khan, picked 474 wickets together. Internationally, the record for the highest Test wicket-taking duo belongs to England’s James Anderson and Stuart Broad, who have accumulated a remarkable 1039 dismissals.

As India and England engaged in the ongoing Test battle, the spin maestros dismantled the English top order, leaving the visitors at 108/3 at Lunch. The relentless duo, Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja, continued to pose threats, claiming the wickets of Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow, further solidifying their impact in the game.
