- R. Ashwin quickest to 250 Test wickets:
In the one-off Test against Bangladesh at Hyderabad in February this year, Ashwin became the fastest bowler to reach 250 Test scalps regarding matches.
The last 24 months have been dictated by the off-spinner’s sheer enigma with the ball, as he remains a single handed match-winner for the Virat Kohli-led Indian outfit.
Against Bangladesh, which also marked the side’s first ever Test in India, Ashwin took the 250th Test wicket of his career, and in his 45th Test, became the quickest to get to the rare feat. The second on the list is former Australian pace legend Dennis Lillee, who took 250 wickets in 48 games.
