Yuvraj also congratulated Anderson for his achievement and wrote, "Never thought I’d see in my lifetime a fast bowler take 600 Test wickets! It’s not just the quantity but the quality with which he has bowled - be it slow or fast wickets, bounce or no bounce, seam or no seam, for him conditions never mattered! Sir @jimmy9 you are the #GOAT."

Anderson achieved the feat on Tuesday after he knocked out Pakistan captain Azhar Ali on Day 5 of the rain-curtailed third Test match at Southampton. He became the fourth bowler with more Test wickets after Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan (800 Test wickets), Australia's Shane Warne (708) and India's Anil Kumble (619).
Jasprit Bumrah has become one of the most sought after fast bowlers in world cricket.
Bumrah in his 14 Test matches has taken 68 wickets. He has also played 64 ODIs in which he has bagged 104 wickets to go with 59 scalps in 50 T20Is.
