Wicket number 17! Broad bowled penetratingly and again crushed Warner’s bowling

England fast bowler Stuart Broad has created a special record in the third Test match at Leeds in Ashes series 2023. Broad holds the record for most dismissals by a single batsman in Test cricket. Australia’s legendary opening batsman David Warner has become his victim. Interestingly, he has become the second England bowler to achieve such a record. Let’s know his record in detail…

Warner was dismissed 17 times against Broad in Tests
England’s first innings in the Headingley Test ended on 237 runs. After this, Australia got a lead of 26 runs. This time, Usman Khawaja and David Warner came to the field to start the second innings from Australia. Warner did not last long this time. He returned to the tent after playing only 5 balls. Stuart Broad came to bowl the third over of Australia’s second innings. Warner was on strike off Broad’s second ball. This time Broad had Warner caught by Zac Crowley. This time Warner had to take the tent road cheaply for 1 run. This brought Warner to the shame of most dismissals against Broad, while Broad set a unique record.

Broad has dismissed David Warner 17 times in Test cricket so far. So Broad became the second England bowler to achieve such a feat in Tests. Legendary bowler Alec Bedser holds the record for the most number of dismissals by a batsman in Tests for England. He had dismissed Australia’s Arthur Morris for the highest number of dismissals in Tests with 18. Now Broad has a chance to break this record. Because, 2 more Ashes Test matches are going to be played in the England vs Australia team.

In addition, former England bowler Sidney Barnes is on the third position in the list. He showed Australia’s Victor Trumper the way to the tent 13 times in Tests.

Interestingly, Warner was dismissed by Broad in the first innings as well. Warner was caught by Zak Crowley on the fifth ball of the first over of the innings that Broad was bowling. At that time, Warner was dismissed for 4 runs after hitting 1 boundary in 5 balls. (Record alert Stuart Broad took the wicket of David Warner 17 times)
