5 bowlers with most Test wickets against India

#2 Muttiah Muralitharan

First Test South Africa v Sri Lanka - Day One

Talk about bowling records and there is one name that'll be found in many lists - and that name is Muttiah Muralitharan. The Sri Lankan spin wizard was one of the most feared bowlers back in his day and there is no doubt in him being reckoned amongst the greatest of all-time.

With 800 test wickets to his name, the game has never seen someone as prolific as Muttiah Muralitharan. While the legendary off-spinner enjoyed a great amount of success against all major Test playing nations, it was against India that saw Muttiah Muralitharan deliver extraordinary performances.

In 22 tests, the Sri Lankan maestro took 105 wickets against India which also includes seven 5-wicket hauls and two 10-wicket hauls, which simply exhibits the greatness of Muralitharan. Not many spinners have achieved so much success against India in Tests but Muttiah Muralitharan thrived against them.
