Fatullah, Bangladesh: Veteran India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh eclipsed Pakistan pace legend Wasim Akram to jump to ninth on the all-time highest Test wicket-takers list on Sunday.
Bangladesh’s Imrul Kayes was Harbhajan’s 415th wicket in his 102nd Test, overtaking Akram’s 414 from 104 matches.

Legendary spinner Anil Kumble heads India’s all-time list with 619 wickets, followed by Kapil.
India and Bangladesh played out a rain-hit draw in a one-off Test match on Sunday.
