Team India Spinner R Ashwin Create New History
Ashwin becomes the fastest bowler to reach 450 Wickets in Test cricket. He achieved this feat in his 80th Test match, surpassing the previous record held by Sri Lankan spinner Rangana Herath (81 Tests).
Ashwin also becomes the 9th bowler overall to reach 450 Test wickets. He is now just 50 wickets away from joining the elite club of bowlers with 500 Test wickets, which includes the likes of Anil Kumble, Muttiah Muralitharan, Shane Warne, and James Anderson.
Ashwin's achievement is even more remarkable considering that he is a finger spinner. Finger spinners typically take longer to reach such milestones compared to pace bowlers.
Ashwin's performance has been instrumental in India's recent success in Test cricket. He has been their leading wicket-taker in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against Australia, and he played a key role in India's victory in the first Test match in Nagpur.
Ashwin's achievement has been lauded by fans and experts alike. He is considered to be one of the greatest spin bowlers of all time, and his latest feat is a testament to his skill and longevity.
Here are some additional details about Ashwin's achievement:
- He took his 450th wicket on Day 3 of the second Test match against Australia in Delhi.
- The wicket was that of Australian batsman Marnus Labuschagne, who was caught by Shubman Gill at short leg.
- Ashwin has taken 450 wickets in 80 Tests at an average of 24.24.
- He has also taken 71 wickets in 54 One-Day Internationals and 122 wickets in 46 Twenty20 Internationals.
Ashwin's achievement is a great moment for Indian cricket, and it is sure to inspire future generations of spinners.
