Ahmedabad: Indian charismatic spinner Ravichandran Ashwin created history by taking the 5th wicket against Australia in the first innings of the fourth Test in Ahmedabad. With the dismissal of Todd Murphy, he has taken the Indian record for the most wickets in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. He left behind the great spinner Anil Kumble’s 111 wickets. At the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ashwin took one wicket on the first day, while taking another 4 wickets on the second day to register his name in history.
Before this match, he was 5 wickets behind. Ashwin was the first wicket of the match when Travis Head was caught by Ravindra Jadeja, while no wicket fell in the first session of the second day. In the second session, Ashwin got centurion Cameron Green caught behind the wicket by Shrikar Bharat. Green went on to score a personal score of 114 runs. He hit 18 fours in 170 balls. In the same over, Ashwin also hunted wicketkeeper Alex Carey. He got Akshar Patel caught even before opening the account.
Mitchell Starc became the next victim of Ravichandran Ashwin. He was caught by Shreyas Iyer on Ashwin’s ball. It is noteworthy that the record of taking the most wickets in the Border Gavaskar Trophy is in the name of Nathan Lyon. He broke Kumble’s record in the Indore Test. He currently has 113 wickets in his name. However, Kumble took 20 matches to take 111 wickets, while it took Ashwin 22 Tests.
Ashwin will regret this
Ashwin has definitely achieved a big achievement, but he will surely regret that these wickets did not come early. It is very important for the Indian team to win this match. If he gets a defeat here, he will have to depend on the result of the series between Sri Lanka and New Zealand to cut the ticket for the title match of the ICC World Test Championship. On the other hand, Australia has already reached the WTC final.
