In the game of cricket, as much as the batsman has an important role, so is the bowlers. Sometimes bowlers turn the entire dice of the match. There was more than one best bowler in world cricket, who also recorded many world records in his name. Today we are going to tell you about one such champion bowler who did a great job by taking 8 wickets in the last match of his Test career and created history. To date, no one has been able to break even this bowler's record.
We are talking about Muttiah Muralitharan, one of the greatest bowlers in the world whose name holds the record for taking the most 800 wickets in Test cricket. In 2010, the Indian team went on a tour of Sri Lanka. Where a three-Test series was to be played between the two teams. However, Muralitharan had already announced that he would retire after the first Test. At that time Muralitharan was only 8 wickets away from taking his 800 wickets. Muralitharan had only one Test to achieve this record. It was a tough test.
Before the match, Muralitharan had announced that he would take eight wickets in this match. Muraleedharan also did what he had said at that time. He made history against India in Galle by taking 5 wickets in the first innings and 3 wickets in the second innings. The Sri Lankan team won this match by 10 wickets and gave a wonderful farewell to Muralitharan. Muralitharan is the only player to take 800 wickets in Tests. So far no bowler has even reached his record.
