Stuart Broad, the veteran England pacer, achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first English bowler to reach 150 Ashes wickets. He accomplished this feat in his 40th Ashes appearance, with an average of over 28. The impressive tally includes eight five-wicket hauls and a solitary ten-wicket haul in a match.

During the ongoing fifth Ashes 2023 Test at Kennington Oval in London, Broad claimed his 150th dismissal by removing Usman Khawaja just after Lunch. Shortly after, he also dismissed Travis Head for just 4 runs, showcasing his ability to perform under pressure.

Earlier in the series, Broad reached another milestone by becoming the second pacer, after his teammate James Anderson, to achieve 600 Test wickets.
