Ashwin looks for historic 500th Test wicket in IND vs ENG 3rd Test
Currently, Ashwin has accumulated 499 wickets in 97 Test matches, showcasing his exceptional bowling prowess. Against England, he has already secured nine wickets across two Tests.
If Ashwin achieves this feat, he will join the ranks of legendary bowlers such as Muttiah Muralitharan, Shane Warne, James Anderson, Stuart Broad, Glenn McGrath, Courtney Walsh, and Nathan Lyon, who have surpassed the 500-wicket mark in international Test cricket.
Anil Kumble, former Indian captain and current commentator, holds the record for the highest number of Test wickets by an Indian player, with an impressive tally of 619 scalps. As Ashwin continues to inch closer to this milestone, he receives support and admiration from fans and fellow celebrities alike, highlighting his significant contribution to Indian cricket.
