The most traditional format of cricket is Test. The player who impresses with his batting or bowling in this format is considered a real cricketer. There have been many batsmen who have made Test cricket excellent and attractive with their game. But if we talk about the most successful bowler then he is Muttiah Muralidhar. Muralitharan has taken the most wickets in Test cricket.
Sri Lankan off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan holds the record for taking most wickets in Test cricket. This dangerous off-spinner has taken 800 wickets in 230 innings of 133 Tests. This also includes the world record of taking 5 wickets 67 times. This record of Muralitharan can be broken if this current bowler plays Test cricket regularly.
If any bowler can break Muttiah Muralitharan's record of most Test wickets, it would be Afghanistan's leg spinner Rashid Khan. Rashid Khan has played only 6 matches in his Test career but has taken 45 wickets. With the speed at which he takes wickets in this format, he can break Muralitharan's record of most Test wickets.
Rashid Khan undoubtedly has the full potential to break Muttiah Muralidhar's world record, but the problem with him is that his country Afghanistan does not get a chance to play that many Tests. Even if they get some opportunities, they are not able to play due to their other commitments. Afghanistan's 2 test match series against Zimbabwe has been completed.
Rashid Khan did not even play the first match of the series due to his social commitments. He played in the second test against Zimbabwe. After 3 years, he played a Test and by taking 11 wickets, he helped his team win not only the match but also the series. In such a situation, if Afghanistan gets to play maximum matches and Rashid is there, then they can easily break Muralidhar's record. Let us tell you that Rashid is currently 26 years old.
