Veteran medium-pacer Vinay Kumar has joined an elite club of bowlers taking 400 wickets. He achieved the feat during Puducherry’s 10-wicket win over Bihar at the Moin-ul-Haq Stadium.
Vinay took four wickets for 57 runs in the second innings to take his overall wickets tally to 401.
The 34-year-old is now the joint-10th highest-ever wicket-taker of the tournament, sitting alongside former Bengal and India left-arm spinner Utpal Chatterjee.
“400 Ranji Trophy wickets. 397 for Karnataka and 3 for Pondicherry. Thanks to everyone who have been a part of this wonderful journey,” Kumar tweeted after achieving the feat.
Former left-arm spinner Rajinder Goel holds the distinction of being the highest wicket-taker in history. He took 637 wickets in his stellar career.
