Team India is set to take on England in the IND vs ENG 2nd Test match to be played at the Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium. Ahead of the crucial encounter, let us take a look at the players with most wickets at Vizag Stadium.
The Vizag Stadium hosted its first-ever red-ball game in the international circuit when England played India in November 2016. Team India won the match quite convincingly. Ravichandran Ashwin bagged a fifer in the first innings of the game and therefore has fond memories of the venue.
