Broad achieves a rare record with the dismissal of Warner

During the third Ashes 2023 Test at Headingley in Leeds, England pacer Stuart Broad achieved his 17th dismissal of Australia opener David Warner in Test matches. Broad had already gotten Warner out in the first innings of the match on Thursday. This puts Broad in the company of West Indies' Curtly Ambrose and Courtney Walsh, who have both dismissed England's Michael Atherton 17 times in Tests and are placed joint-third on the list of bowlers dismissing a batter the most times.

The record for the most dismissals of a batter in Tests is held by Australian legend Glenn McGrath, who has dismissed Atherton on 19 occasions in 34 Test innings. Alec Bedser of England is second on the list as he has dismissed Australia's Arthur Morris 18 times in Test matches. Broad has joined Ambrose and Walsh to take the third spot on the list with his 17th dismissal of Warner in red-ball cricket. Here's how netizens are reacting to the development.
