Stats: Bowlers with most dismissals as 'hit wicket' in Tests

Kapil Dev

Here is a list of bowlers who have the most number of dismissals as ‘hit wicket’ in Tests. You don’t often see batsmen getting dismissed hit wicket; it only happens when a player loses his balance or concentration.

Australia’s Graham Mckenzie, who has played 60 Tests for Australia and taken 246 wickets, should consider himself fortunate to have 4 such dismissals credited to his name. India has two entries in the list: Vinoo Mankad and Kapil Dev, with 3 each.

Player	Country	Matches	Wickets	Hit Wickets
Graham McKenzie	Australia	60	246	4
Hedley Verity	England	40	144	3
Ray Lindwall	Australia	61	228	3
Vinoo Mankad	India	44	162	3
Fred Trueman	England	67	307	3
