    Bowlers attacking in pairs have a significant effect on the game in a format such as Test cricket. It is extremely rare for a bowler to be successful without support from the other end, both in terms of cutting down on scoring and producing breakthroughs. Three of India’s most productive bowling tandems in Test matches.

    We’ve witnessed many bowling combinations become very popular over the years. In 138 matches, Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad combined to collect an incredible 1039 wickets. With 1001 points in just 104 games, Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath are the only other pair in four figures.

    India has had several famous bowlers who have performed well together, even if they have never had a bowling duo as successful. And the current first Test against England saw one of the hosts’ most decorated combinations accomplish an astounding new milestone.

    Three of India’s most productive bowling tandems in Test matches

    1. Harbhajan Singh and Zaheer Khan, the Indian team’s top spinners, combined for 474 wickets in 59 matches, including the 2011 World Cup. They contributed 268 runs, with the former taking 206 wickets. The pair averaged 8.03 wickets per match, demonstrating their significant value to the team. Singh often carried the pace attack, while Khan was a deadly bowler at home.
    2. Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh, India’s leading wicket-taker in Tests, have been paired in a spin partnership. They claimed 501 wickets in 54 matches at a rate of 9.28 scalps per Test, with Kumble top-scoring with 281 and Singh with 220. This partnership was expected to be India’s most notable spin partnership in Test history.
    1. Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin have become the most prolific Indian bowling pair in Test format history, picking up four of the five England wickets on Day 1 of the first Test at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. In 50 matches, they have registered 504 scalps, making them at the top of the rankings. Ashwin has been the more dominant partner with 276 wickets, while Jadeja has contributed 228. With more cricket to come, Ashwin and Jadeja should strengthen their position as India’s most successful bowling pair in Test format history.
