Sri Lanka off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan equalled the world record for most one-day wickets on Tuesday by taking his tally to 502.
The 36-year-old, playing in his 327th match, drew level with retired Pakistan fast bowler Wasim Akram's landmark in the third one-day international against India.
Muralitharan, who also holds the world record for most Test wickets, had Yuvraj Singh caught to reach the mark.
