Ashwin Becomes India's Top Test Wicket-Taker in Asia

Ravichandran Ashwin has surpassed Anil Kumble to become India's leading wicket-taker in Asia with 420 wickets. He equaled Zaheer Khan's record for the most wickets in India-Bangladesh Tests, each taking 31 wickets. Ashwin also became the first bowler to dismiss at least 50 batters in each World Test Championship (WTC) cycle. In the ongoing series against Bangladesh, he played a crucial role, including a six-wicket haul and a century in the first Test. Additionally, Ravindra Jadeja reached 300 Test wickets, becoming the second-fastest Indian to achieve this milestone by balls delivered. Jadeja's performance against left-handers has been highlighted as a key asset for the Indian team.
