Data check: R Ashwin becomes India’s third-highest wicket-taker in Test cricket #IndiaNEWS
Ashwin Ravichandran became the third-highest wicket-taker for India in Test cricket when he dismissed Tom Latham in the first Test against New Zealand in Kanpur on Monday. The 35-year-old took his 418th wicket, surpassing fellow off-spinner Harbhajan Singh. Only Anil Kumble and Kapil Dev have more wickets than Ashwin as things stand. Ashwin reached the milestone with what was a crucial wicket for India, as Latham was a set batter on Day 5, having scored 52 off 146. The off-spinner got the breakthrough with an inside edge onto the stumps.Here’s a look at India’s top wicket-takers in Tests: Most Test wickets for India Bowler Matches Wickets Ave Anil Kumble 132 619 29.65 Kapil Dev 131 434 29.64 R Ashwin 80 419 24.48 Harbhajan Singh 103 417 32.46 Ishant Sharma 105 311 32.40 Zaheer Khan 92 311 32.94 BS Bedi 67 266 28.71 BS Chandrasekhar 58 242 29.74 Javagal Srinath 67 236 30.49 Ravindra Jadeja 57 232 24.84 via ESPNCricinfo Most Test wickets after 80 Test matches450 - M Muralidharan418*- R Ashwin403 - Richard Hadlee402 - Dale Steyn#IndvNZ #IndvsNZ #NZvInd #NZvsInd — Mohandas Menon...Read more
