Ashwin broke Anil Kumble’s record in the Test against England

The seasoned off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin made cricket history once more as he broke Anil Kumble’s record to claim the most wickets in Test matches played in India. Ashwin’s incredible achievement, which he accomplished during the fourth Test match against England in Ranchi, adds a new chapter to his already impressive career.

With his third wicket of the game, Ashwin broke Kumble’s previous record of 350 wickets to take his 351st Test scalp at home. During England’s second innings, the off-spinner’s breakthrough came as he displayed his skill to demolish the opposition’s batting order.

In addition to shattering records with this accomplishment, Ashwin hit other noteworthy benchmarks during the game. After surpassing 400 Test wickets in Asia and claiming his 100th wicket against England, Ashwin proved that he was still the best player in the game.

Despite taking just one wicket in England’s opening innings, Ashwin quickly established himself by taking two vital wickets in short succession in the third innings. In the fifth over, he removed opener Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope in back-to-back deliveries, dealing a crushing blow to the visiting side’s batting order.But Ashwin’s most valuable wicket of the game—that of former England captain Joe Root—was his third of the match, and it shot him to the top of the standings as the most wicket-taker in Test matches conducted in India.
