R Ashwin Matches Muttiah Muralitharan's World Record With Series-Winning Show Against Bangladesh

India's veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin produced an exemplary all-round show as the team secured a 2-0 series triumph against Bangladesh. After winning the first match by 280 runs, India defeated Bangladesh by 7 wickets in the second Test despite two and a half days of the Kanpur contest being washed out due to rain. Ashwin remained key to India's success against Bangla Tigers, both with the bat and the ball. He was, hence, named the Player of the Series. With the POTS honour, Ashwin went on to match a world record, held by Sri Lanka great Muttiah Muralitharan in Test cricket.

"This Is A Good Indian Team But...": Jacques Kallis' Huge Warning Ahead Of South Africa Tour

Jacques Kallis, one of the last multi-skilled legends, says quality all-rounders have become a scarcity in modern-day cricket, especially in Test cricket, because of "too much cricket across formats". While Sir Garfield Sobers (8032 runs and 235 wickets) is considered 'greatest of 'em all' across generations, Kallis (25,000-plus runs and nearly 600 wickets in three formats) is inarguably one of the legendary all-rounders the modern era has seen. In the 1980s, there were four great all-rounders in Imran Khan, Richard Hadlee, Ian Botham and Kapil Dev while the new millennium saw emergence of Kallis and Andrew Flintoff. But with advent of T20 cricket and mushrooming leagues across the globe with new rules have actually discouraged development of multi-skilled cricketers.
