Indian all-rounder R. Ashwin etched himself in history as he became the second quickest to 200 test wickets. Ashwin got to the milestone in just his 37th test, and that is the second fastest record for the race to 200 test scalps. New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson became Ashwin’s 200th test wicket and the right-hander was trapped dead in front of the stumps.

 

Ashwin has been a genuine match winner for India and his display at Kanpur on the fourth evening was just lethal. Ashwin is second just to Australian legend Clarrie Grimmett, who got to the milestone in 36 tests. Twitter saluted Ashwin for his heroics, and below are some of the tweets.
