Ravichandran Ashwin's Mother Asked Him To Bowl Spin, And Not Pace, Reveals Star's Dad. Rest Is History
Veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin became only the second Indian after the legendary Anil Kumble to take 500 Test wickets. Ashwin dismissed England opener Zak Crawley on Day 2 of the ongoing third Test in Rajkot on Friday. Ashwin is not only the fastest Indian to the milestone, but also the second fastest in the overall list in terms of matches, only behind Muttiah Muralitharan, who achieved the feat in his 87th Test. Ashwin, on the other hand, was playing his 98th Test before he pulled out of the squad, flying to Chennai to attend his ill mother.
