Online Scoreboard : Live ScoreBoard India v Sri Lanka , 4th ODI : Vaas Joins 400 Club
August 27, 2008
Sri Lanka left-arm fast bowler Chaminda Vaas took his 400th wicket in one-day internationals when he dismissed Indian batsman Yuvraj Singh for a duck in the fourth one-day international on Wednesday.
The left-arm seamer had Yuvraj Singh caught by Mahela Jayawardene at short mid-wicket to join retired Pakistani pace duo of Wasim Akram (502) and Waqar Younis (416), and compatriot Muttiah Muralitharan (478) in the 400-club.
Vaas is also the only bowler in the world to grab eight wickets in a one-day international, finishing with 8-19 off eight overs against Zimbabwe in Colombo in 2001.
He has grabbed two hat-tricks in 322 one-day internationals — against Zimbabwe in Colombo seven years ago and Bangladesh in the 2003 World Cup in South Africa.
Vaas has taken five or more wickets in an innings four times since making his one-day debut against India in 1994.
He has also bagged 348 wickets in 107 Tests.
