Mitchell Starc reaches a major milestone in Test cricket by becoming the leading left-arm wicket-taker in the format. Multiple reports say he takes his 434th Test wicket, surpassing Rangana Herath’s left-arm record and scripting an all-time mark for the category.
The coverage also notes the broader context of his achievement. One outlet adds that Starc matches Kapil Dev’s overall wicket tally while doing so in fewer matches, framing the record as both a left-arm and career efficiency feat. Bangladesh’s Hasan Mahmud is also highlighted as a key opponent in the match, taking six wickets and helping restrict Australia, which is reported to have been bowled out for 198 runs. Across the accounts, the focus remains on Starc’s record-breaking wicket total, while the match details are used to explain the immediate performance leading to the milestone.
