Ravichandran Ashwin Landmark Wicket: Ravichadran Ashwin scalped his 519th Test international wicket during India Vs Bangladesh 1st Test on Saturday, and with that, he now moves to joint-8th for most Test international wickets in the history alongside former cricketer and West Indies legend — Courtney Walsh.
India are currently playing Bangladesh at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, which happens to be the home crowd of Ravichandran Ashwin, and the 38-year-old has already left his mark on the match by scoring a vital century in the first innings.
He now stands a golden chance of surpassing the West Indian great in front of his home crowd, as Bangladesh are set to resume their innings at 158/4 on Day 4.
