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.
