India's veteran fast bowler Ishant Sharma broke former Indian captain Kapil Dev's record to become the highest wicket-taker in England for the Indian team in the ongoing Ind vs NZ WTC Final 2021. After sending New Zealand's Devon Conway back to the Pavillion in Southampton's Ageas Bowl Stadium, Ishant Sharma surpassed the cricket legend's record by picking his 44th wicket in England in 13* Test matches. Notably, this was also the fast bowler's 200th wicket in the format, away from home. Devon Conway meanwhile, registered his third Test half-century with commendable innings of 54.
