Written by Vipin Darwade

Umesh Yadav joined an elite list of Indian fast bowlers as he claimed his 100th wicket in Tests on day two of the one-off Test against Afghanistan in Bengaluru. He claimed the wicket of Rahmat Shah, LBW for 14, to bring up the landmark.

Yadav has now become the eighth fast bowler from the country to achieve the milestone and joins greats such as Kapil Dev (434), Zaheer Khan (311) and Javagal Srinath (236).

Earlier in the day, Yadav made a handy contribution with the bat, making 26 from 21 balls, to help India reach 474 in their first innings.
