Three bowlers closing in on 500 Test wickets
Nathan Lyon is the only active Test cricketer with 500-plus wickets in the format.
2. Ravindra Jadeja (India)
Ravindra Jadeja of India stands as the world number one Test all-rounder and has accumulated approximately 356 wickets across 91 Test matches. The left-arm spinner requires around 144 wickets to reach the 500-wicket milestone. Jadeja has continued to add to his tally in recent matches, including performances in the Colombo Test, where he took wickets in both the first innings and the follow-on.
His dual role as a batter and bowler has made him invaluable to India's Test squad, yet his bowling record alone places him firmly in contention for this exclusive club. The distance between Jadeja and the 500-wicket mark remains substantial compared to Starc, though his consistency suggests he could eventually reach the milestone.
