Mitchell Starc Breaks 78-Year-Old Test Cricket Record with Stunning 5-Wicket Haul in Just 15 Deliveries
Starc’s fiery burst surpassed the previous record held since 1947 by fellow Australian Ernie Toshack
Sydney: Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc has shattered a 78-year-old Test cricket record with a sensational bowling performance against the West Indies.
In the final Test of the 3-match series held in Kingston, the West Indies needed 204 runs to win on the third day of play. Defending the target, Starc delivered a devastating spell of fast bowling, taking five wickets in just 15 balls — the fastest 5-wicket haul in the history of Test cricket.
Starc’s fiery burst surpassed the previous record held since 1947 by fellow Australian Ernie Toshack, who claimed five wickets in 19 balls against India.
With this historic feat, Starc has etched his name into cricket history, underlining his status as one of the most lethal pacers in the modern game.
