“I will be your 700th wicket”
Anderson said, “Kuldeep Yadav played a shot towards third man for a run. When he came to the non-striker's end and I was going back to my mark for the run-up, he told me that I will be your 700th wicket. It wasn't that he was telling me he was going to try to get out, he just said he felt like it and we both started laughing about it.”
Kuldeep's prediction proved true
Kuldeep Yadav's words proved true and James Anderson dismissed him for his 700th wicket. The Indian team won the last test match by an innings and 64 runs. England scored 218 runs in the first innings, in response to which the Indian team was out for 477 runs. For India, Kuldeep Yadav played an inning of 30 runs in 69 balls. He was caught by Ben Fox on the ball of James Anderson and thus Anderson completed his 700th Test wicket.
