"Why Others Get More Games To Fail, I Get One?": R Ashwin's Explosive Remark Ahead Of 100th Test

Indian cricket team spinner Ravichandran Ashwin will play his 100th Test match as India take on England in the final game of the five-match series in Dharamsala on Thursday. Ashwin, who is only the second Indian bowler after Anil Kumble to take 500 Test wickets, has been in and out of the team in recent years. India have lacked batting depth in Test cricket and during matches against SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia) countries, Ravindra Jadeja was favoured over the veteran spinner. In a conversation with Kumble on Jio Cinema, Ashwin opened up about his struggles earlier in his career and how he made peace with the doubts surrounding his selection.

The second instance involved three players as South Africa's Jacques Kallis, Shaun Pollock and Stephen Fleming played their 100th Test in the South Africa-New Zealand game in Centurion in 2006.
