Rajkot ∙ Ravichandran Ashwin completed 500 Test wickets by dismissing opener Zach Crowley in the third cricket Test against England. Ashwin completed 500 Test wickets by taking Crowley to the hands of Rajat Patidar in the first ball of the 14th over. After India were bowled out for 445 runs in the first innings, England, who came out to bat in reply, were making progress, and Ashwin gave the decisive breakthrough by dismissing Crowley. Crowley was dismissed for 15 runs off 28 balls with two fours.
With this, Ashwin became the second fastest bowler to reach 500 Test wickets. Ashwin reached 500 wickets in the 98th Test. Sri Lanka’s former player Muttiah Muralitharan, who achieved 500 wickets in the 87th Test, is the first. Ashwin overtook Anil Kumble, who reached the 500-wicket club from 105 Tests, to the third position. Shane Warne (108) and Glenn McGraw (110) are fourth and fifth.
In terms of number of balls, Ashwin is the second to reach 500 wickets in the fewest balls. Ashwin reached 500 wickets in the 25,714th ball. Glenn McGraw, the former player of Australia, who took his 500th wicket in 25,528 balls, is the first in this regard. English players James Anderson, who reached the 500-wicket club in 28,150 balls, Stuart Broad, who achieved the feat in 28,430 balls, and former West Indies player Courtney Walsh, who made 500 victims in 28,833 balls, are in the 3rd, 4th and 5th positions in the number of balls.
Ashwin, who made his Test debut for India against the West Indies in Delhi in 2011, has been the cornerstone of India’s dominance against the opposition at home since then. He has taken five wickets 34 times and 10 wickets eight times in Tests. His best performance in an innings was 7 wickets for 59 runs.
