Watch: Ravichandran Ashwin Asked Name Of Player He Surpassed For Record 33rd 5-For. Star Gives Wrong Answer
The first day of the first Test match against West Indies belonged to Ravichandran Ashwin. He completed his 33rd five-wicket haul in style to put his team on the front foot. He has now become the bowler with the most five-wicket hauls in Test cricket among all active players. After missing the ICC World Test Championship 2021-23 final against Australia earlier in June, Ashwin made an impactful return in India's first match of the new 2023-25 WTC cycle. He took 5/60 in 24.3 overs at an economy rate of 2.44. He dismissed skipper Kraigg Braithwaite, Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Alick Athanaze, Jason Holder and Jomel Warrican.
