If Ashwin takes 4 more wickets, he will become the 2nd player..!?
Tamil Nadu cricketer Ashwin has a chance to create a historic record in the second Test match between india and England. It was expected that the indian team would dominate the test series as this Test series was played on a spin-friendly ground. But in the first Test, england gave a shock treatment. In this situation, Ashwin has an additional burden in the second Test match. Jadeja always bowls from the opposite end. Forming a partnership with him, Ashwin will also create pressure and take wickets.
Both have taken more than 500 wickets together. Jadeja's absence from the second Test will be seen as a huge loss for Ashwin. However, champion players like Ashwin will surprise you by showing their talent no matter how much pressure there is. In this manner, if tamil Nadu cricketer Ashwin takes four more wickets in the second Test, he will become the player who has taken 500 wickets in international Test cricket. For india, Kumble has taken the most wickets.
If Ashwin takes four wickets, he will become the second indian player to take 500 wickets. Not only that, Ashwin is waiting to create a record at the world level. Currently, Ashwin has played 96 matches and taken 496 wickets. A four-wicket haul in the second Test would make him the second-fastest player to 500 wickets. Before this, Sri Lankan Muralitharan played 87 Test matches and took 500 wickets in 2004. Anil Kumble, who is currently in second place, took 500 wickets in Test cricket last year in 2006 when he played 105 Test matches. In third place is Australian cricket legend Warne who took 500 wickets in 2004 after playing 108 Test matches. Now if Ashwin takes four wickets in the second Test, he will become the fastest player to reach 500 wickets in 97 matches after Muralitharan. Only players like Muralitharan, Anil Kumble, Warne McGrath, and Nathan Lyon have taken 500 wickets in Test cricket so far. Ashwin will become the ninth player in the world to take 500 wickets.
