England Trio In Line To Achieve Unique Test Record

The ongoing Test series between India and England can witness a unique as well as an incredible record as it will be the first occasion that three players of the same team will achieve the double of 500 runs and 40 wickets in a calendar year.

So far, not a single team has produced more than one player to achieve this unique record in a single year but Alastair Cook’s team is in line to witness as many as three players- Ben Stokes, Moeen Ali and Chris Woakes- to achieve the rare feat.

While Stokes (826 runs) and Ali (838 runs) have already crossed the 500-run mark, Woakes is only 18 shy of accumulating 500 runs this year. With two more Tests to be played in this series, the England all-rounder is likely to achieve it.

On the other hand, Woakes took his 40th Test wicket of this year during the third Test against India while Moeen Ali and Ben Stokes need six and eight wickets respectively to complete the rare double.

Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who has been in stellar form with both bat and ball this year, completed the double during the third Test at Mohali. In fact, he is only 11th player to score 500 runs and claim 50 or more wickets in a calendar year.

Here is a list of the leading all-rounders of this year:

PLAYER MATCHES RUNS WICKETS
R Ashwin (IND) 10 545 59
Moeen Ali (ENG) 15 838 34
Ben Stokes (ENG) 10 826 32
Chris Woakes (ENG) 11 482 40
Ravindra Jadeja (IND) 7 299 27

 

Here is an all-time list of the players who have scored 500 runs or more and have taken 50 wickets or more in a calendar year:

PLAYER MATCHES RUNS WICKETS
R Ashwin (IND) 10 545 59
