Ravichandran Ashwin, one of India\u2019s best spinners, is set to play his 85th Test match against Sri Lanka in Mohali and he is now only 4 wickets away from Kapil Dev\u2019s record of 434 wickets in terms of wickets. Ravichandran Ashwin has played 84 Test matches in which he has taken 430 wickets.<\/p>\n
Ravichandran Ashwin can also beat Sir Richard Hadlee(431), Rangana Herath(432), and pacer Dale Steyn(439) in this series. In terms of matches, Ravichandran Ashwin is far behind all these three fast bowlers and if Ravichandran Ashwin pays attention to his fitness, he can even break the record of Anil Kumble, James Anderson, Shane Warne, and Muttiah Muralitharan 800 test wickets.<\/p>\n
Recognizing Kapil Dev, Ravichandran Ashwin will be second only to Anil Kumble in the list of highest wicket-takers in Indian Test cricket history. Anil Kumble has played 132 Test matches in which he has taken 619 wickets and looking at Ravichandran Ashwin\u2019s performance, it is expected that he can even break Anil Kumble\u2019s record.<\/p>\n
Ashwin\u2019s record in India is excellent and in Test matches, India\u2019s vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah has also praised Ravichandran Ashwin.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is fully prepared for the Test series against Sri Lanka. He is shaping up well. No complaints. He looked good and did everything in training today. Batted, bowled and did fielding,\u201d said Bumrah in a video posted by BCCI on Twitter a few days back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
