5 England bowlers with the most Test Wickets against India

#4 Ian Botham (1979-1982)

Botham has 59 wickets in 14 matches against India

Ian Botham is perhaps the most popular and leading cricketing personality in England. Before the English football really took the upward surge and in a pre-Beckham era, it was common to see English media talking about Botham as his career reached new heights and extended the horizon of impossibility a little further.

In the third Test of the Indian tour of England in 1982, Botham went on to register his career best figures picking up 8 wickets for just 34 runs.

Against India, Botham has 59 wickets in 14 matches, leaving aside the damage he did with the bat. Botham averaged 26.40 with the ball against the same opponent.
