India veteran R Ashwin has the opportunity to create history in the first round to be played in Kanpur from 25 November. Ashwin may become India’s third most successful fast bowler in test cricket by taking five wickets in Test 1 against New Zealand.
Let’s report that Ashwin has 413 windows in 79 tests with an average of 24.56. His best performance during this period has been 7/59. Ashwin has taken five or more wickets 30 times in a test cricket inning.
Significantly, Anil Kumble has taken 619 wickets for India in test cricket. Kapil Dev, who won the 1893 World Cup over India on this list, is at number two. He has taken 434 wickets in 131 tests. At the same time, Harbhajan Singh is at number three. Bhajji has 417 windows in 103 tests. At the same time, Ashwin is at number four with 413 windows.
Ravichandran Ashwin threw the new ball during net practice in Kanpur on Tuesday, as the off-course Indian veteran is believed to have thrown on a spinner-friendly pitch at Green Park in the first test against New Zealand starting Thursday.
Ashwin has already shared the new ball in test matches. He has shared the new ball in 39 innings of 33 test matches. On 15 of these occasions, he threw the first over of the innings. Ashwin shared the new ball in both innings of the Chennai Test against England earlier this year as he opened the bowling alley with Axar Patel in the second inning in Ahmedabad.
