"Ash Anna Supremacy": Intenet Reacts As Ravichandran Ashwin Races To 500th Test Wicket
India's veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin achieved a rare milestone of 500 Test wickets on Friday. He became only the second Indian bowler after former skipper Anil Kumble to get to the feat. During the third Test against England in Rajkot, Ashwin dismissed England opener Zak Crawley for the historic achievement. He also became only the third off-spinner to claim 500 or more Test wickets and continues to be the second highest wicket-taker for India behind Kumble, who ended his career with 619 scalps.
Here is how the internet reacted to Ashwin's achievement:
Take A Bow, R Ashwin
