Yasir's 90-in-15 breaks 120-year Test record

 

KARACHI: Pakistan’s magical spinner Yasir Shah got yet another world record registered against his name when he got the wicket of England's Gary Ballance on the fourth day of the Birmingham Test on Saturday.
Balance's was Yasir’s 90th wicket in the 15 Test matches of his career, making him the player with the highest number of wickets in the first 15 Test matches of his career.
Yasir broke the 120-year-old record of Englishman George Lohmann, who had 89 wickets in the first 15 Tests of his career.
In 1896, Lohmann got 12 wickets in his 16th Test to reach the milestone of 100 Test wickets becoming the quickest to reach 100 Test wickets.
Yasir Shah is likely to equal Lohmann's record in the Oval Test.
