Only One legend The Murali claims 800th Test wicket

Muttiah Muralitharan reached the milestone of 800 Test wickets

The 38-year-old went into the final day of his last Test needing two more wickets to become the first player to reach 800 victims.And although he removed Harbhajan Singh to edge closer to his target, Muralitharan was forced to toil away before finally clinching the last wicket.

With Lasith Malinga moving to five wickets in the innings, VVS Laxman having been run out and the light looking like it might come into play, Murali finally struck to remove the last Indian wicket in the second innings.Pragyan Ojha, who had remained stubbornly at the crease for 49 balls, became victim No.800 when he edged to Mahela Jayawardene at slip.
