Adam Zampa is close to a major milestone in Australian cricket. After his match-winning spell in the second ODI against India in Adelaide, the leg-spinner now stands just four wickets away from becoming only the second Australian spinner to reach the 200-wicket mark in One-Day Internationals.

Zampa was at his crafty best on Thursday, bamboozling the Indian batters with his variations as he returned impressive figures of 4/60 in his 10 overs. His timely breakthroughs played a crucial role in Australia winning the series, earning him the Player of the Match award.

With 196 wickets from 115 ODIs, the 33-year-old will have another opportunity to etch his name in the record books when the teams meet again on Saturday.

Shane Warne remains Australia’s leading ODI spinner with 291 wickets.
