Gus Atkinson secures Historic record: First player in 129 years to achieve THIS feat in Test cricket

The fifer by Gus Atkinson- which included wickets of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel, Washington Sundar, Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna- helped him reach 60 dismissals in 13 matches at an average of 21 and a strike-rate of 34.9.

With these numbers, Gus Atkinson broke a massive record and became the first player in 129 long years to take 60 wickets at a strike-rate of less than 35.

England great George Lohmann is the only player above Gus Atkinson, as he took 60 wickets with a strike-rate of 34.1. Lohmann played his last Test match in 1896
