Indian cricket team is set to tour England to play six Tests, including the WTC Final against New Zealand. India's men's and women's cricket teams will fly to England today. Team India's chances of winning throughout India's tour of England will largely depend on how their fast bowlers bowl in English conditions. Photo Courtesy: AFP

All eyes will be on the experienced Indian trio of Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah's eyes will be on a very special record during this tour as he has a good chance of breaking the longstanding record of legendary India all-rounder Kapil Dev. Photo Courtesy: AFP

If Bumrah takes 17 more wickets during India's tour of England, then the world-class speedster will become the fastest bowler, among Indian pacers, to take 100 wickets in Test cricket. At present, Bumrah has 83 Test wickets from 19 matches. Kapil Dev had completed 100 Test wickets for India in just 25 Test matches. Photo Courtesy: AFP

Overall, the Indian bowler to take the fastest 100 wickets is off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin. The veteran completed 100 Test wickets in 19 matches only. Photo Courtesy: AFP

Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan had picked 100 wickets after playing 28 Test matches, while Mohammed Shami, who is included in the current India team for England tour, completed 100 Test wickets after playing 29 Test matches. Photo Courtesy: AFP
