The India vs England Test rivalry is one of cricket's oldest and most storied battles, dating back to 1932. Over the decades, it has seen many iconic performances with the ball, from legendary spinners weaving magic on turning tracks to fast bowlers delivering fiery spells in swinging conditions. As the two teams clash once again for the newly inaugurated Anderson–Tendulkar Trophy, it's the perfect moment to look back at the top wicket-takers in this historic fixture. These bowlers have not only dominated across different eras but have also played pivotal roles in shaping the outcomes of series both in India and England.

Ishant Sharma – 48 Wickets Ishant Sharma leads the list of Indian wicket-takers in England with 48 wickets in 22 innings. His standout moment came at Lord's in 2014, where he delivered a fiery spell of 7/74, earning the Player of the Match. Known for exploiting English conditions with bounce and seam, Ishant has been India's pace spearhead in numerous away tours. 2. Kapil Dev – 43 Wickets India's first World Cup-winning captain, Kapil Dev, was instrumental in India's 1986 series win in England. A crafty swing bowler and a dependable all-rounder, Kapil picked up 43 wickets in 22 innings, showcasing his knack for rising to the occasion in English conditions. 3. Jasprit Bumrah – 40 Wickets Modern pace ace Jasprit Bumrah has claimed 40 wickets in just 16 innings, including 21 wickets at an average of 22.47 on the 2021 tour and he has already bagged 3 wickets in the 1st Test this year. His lethal pace, unorthodox action, and accuracy make him a key weapon, though the management may rotate him during the current five-Test series. 4. Anil Kumble – 36 Wickets Legendary leg-spinner Anil Kumble took 36 wickets in 19 innings. His county stint with Northamptonshire sharpened his skills for English conditions. Kumble also contributed with the bat, scoring a century in the 2007 series and playing a pivotal role in India's historic Test win at Headingley in 2002. 5. Bishan Singh Bedi – 35 Wickets One of the finest left-arm spinners in cricket history, Bishan Singh Bedi claimed 35 wickets in 18 innings in England. A member of India's famed spin quartet of the 1970s, Bedi's most memorable performance came with a six-wicket haul at Lord's, earning him a spot on the honors board.

Draymond Green makes shocking prediction ahead of OKC vs Pacers NBA Finals Game 7

The Indiana Pacers shocked everyone by winning the Eastern Conference and making it to the NBA Finals. Most people didn't think they had a shot against the strong Oklahoma City Thunder. Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green(AP) But on Thursday, the Pacers crushed the Thunder in Game 6, and now the series is tied. They're just one win away from a championship. With Tyrese Haliburton, Pascal Siakam, head coach Rick Carlisle, and a group of strong role players, the Pacers have gone way beyond what anyone expected. No matter what happens next, they've become one of the best underdog stories in NBA history. The Thunder were favorites to win the title all through the playoffs, but now it's all down to one last game. Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green thinks this could be OKC's only shot. Also Read: NBA powerhouse Kevin Durant buys minority stake in 2025 Champions League-winning club Paris Saint-Germain 'The pressure is all on them…' 'They are supposed to win,' Green said about the Thunder. 'The pressure is all on them… I want to see what OKC going to do, because I'll tell you this BD: If OKC don't win this championship, they may never win a championship.' When Baron Davis asked Green if he thought the Thunder would win a title in the next three years if they lost this one, Green disagreed. 'Not at all,' Green said. 'Here's why. I think they get in a tough position if they don't win a championship. When you get the opportunity to win a championship, if you win it, you give yourself the opportunity to win more. But if you lose it, now you start tweaking stuff, and those tweaks could put you further away from where you were.' The Thunder and the Pacers will play Game 7 of the NBA Finals on Sunday. Where to watch ? You can watch the Final on ABC – National TV broadcast, airing Game 7 live at 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT on Sunday, June 22. Also available via ABC's live stream through cable/satellite login . Other than that, you can watch ABC (and related coverage) through services like Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, Sling, FuboTV, or DirecTV Stream.
