Ravichandran Ashwin Shatters History Books By Reaching 500 Test Wickets
India's veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin became the fastest to claim 500 Test wickets for the country, as he dismissed England's Zak Crawley on Day 2 of the third Test in Rajkot on Friday. Ashwin fell just 1 wicket short of reaching the milestone in the second Test against Ben Stokes' men at Vizag but didn't have to wait for too long in order to celebrate the landmark moment. Overall, the record is held by Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan who had reached 500 Test wickets in his career in 87 matches. For India, Kumble held the record, with 105 matches, before Ashwin surpassed him.
