India vs Bangladesh: 5 Major Records Ravichandran Ashwin is Poised to Break in the Test Series

Ravichandran Ashwin

Ravichandran Ashwin, widely regarded as one of India’s finest bowlers in Test cricket, is all set for the upcoming 2-match Test series against Bangladesh. Ashwin, known for his ability to spin webs around batsmen, is aiming to further solidify his place in cricket history.

As he gears up for this series, the off-spinner has his eyes set on breaking several records, adding to his already remarkable legacy in the longest format of the game. With the ability to perform under all conditions, especially on home soil, Ashwin is an indispensable asset for the Indian team.

Ashwin’s Home Dominance: Chasing History

When it comes to Test matches played in India, Ravichandran Ashwin’s record speaks for itself. He is currently 22 wickets away from surpassing the legendary Anil Kumble’s record of 476 wickets taken on Indian soil. Kumble, one of India’s most iconic bowlers, has held this title for years, but Ashwin’s relentless consistency at home makes it likely that he will soon claim the top spot.

Over the years, the Tamil Nadu-born cricketer has proven his worth time and again, regardless of the conditions. His ability to read the game and adjust to the pitch has been crucial to India’s dominance in home Test matches, and this series against Bangladesh offers another opportunity for Ashwin to make history.

Ashwin vs. Bangladesh: Another Milestone on the Horizon

Ravichandran Ashwin’s performance against Bangladesh has been equally impressive. In the 6 Test matches he has played against them, he has taken 23 wickets. This series could see him surpass Zaheer Khan, who currently holds the record for the most wickets taken by an Indian bowler against Bangladesh, with 31 wickets to his name. Ashwin needs just 9 more wickets to overtake Zaheer, and given his form, this seems like a very achievable milestone.

A Dominant Force in the World Test Championship (WTC)

Ashwin’s achievements aren’t limited to just India or Bangladesh; his impact on the global stage, particularly in the World Test Championship, is undeniable. With 10 five-wicket hauls in WTC matches, Ashwin is tied with Australia’s Nathan Lyon. Another five-wicket haul in this series would not only break that tie but also give Ashwin the undisputed top spot for the most fifers in WTC history. This would be yet another feather in his cap, cementing his place as one of the greatest bowlers in the competition.

Closing in on Multiple WTC Records

Apart from the fifer record, Ashwin is also chasing Lyon for the most wickets in WTC history. He is just 14 wickets shy of Lyon’s record of 187 scalps. With two Tests against Bangladesh on the horizon, it is highly probable that Ashwin could claim this title as well. Additionally, in the current WTC cycle (2023-25), Australia’s Josh Hazlewood holds the lead with 51 wickets. Ashwin needs only 10 more wickets to surpass Hazlewood and take the top spot in the ongoing campaign.

Conclusion

As Ravichandran Ashwin prepares for the Test series against Bangladesh, he is on the brink of achieving several historic milestones. From surpassing Anil Kumble’s home wickets record to becoming the highest wicket-taker in WTC history, Ashwin’s journey is a testament to his skill, dedication, and enduring legacy in Indian cricket. With his eyes set on these records, Ashwin’s performances in the upcoming series could not only shape the outcome of the games but also redefine his place among cricket’s all-time greats.
