How will Ashwin break the record of 800 test wickets, when he/she is lagging behind Anil Kumble?

New Delhi. Indian cricket star spearhead R Ashwin bowled the match-winning bowler in the second innings in the Chennai Test against Bangladesh. In this match, he/she took 6 wickets for the 37th time in a Test innings. By doing this, he/she was successful in leaving behind the great Australian bowler Shane Warne in this matter. Ashwin has also overtaken Courtney Walls of West Indies in terms of taking wickets in Tests. Now the discussion is about his/her reaching Sri Lankan legend Muttiah Muralitharan’s record of 800 Test wickets.

Indian star R Ashwin has been seen continuously chasing Sri Lanka’s Muttiah Muralitharan in terms of taking wickets in Test cricket. If we look at the record, 100, 200 and 300 test wickets were achieved before him/her. However, Sri Lankan legend Muralitharan has been ahead in terms of taking 500 Test wickets. Till now Ashwin has taken a total of 523 wickets in his/her name after playing 102 test matches. Fans talk about Sri Lankan all-rounder Muralitharan’s world record of 800 wickets in Tests, but right now it seems very difficult for Ashwin because he/she has not yet left behind Anil Kumble, who has taken the highest wickets in Tests for India.

Ashwin behind the Indian legend
Even though R Ashwin is expected to break the record of Sri Lankan Muralitharan taking the most wickets in Tests, but before that we have to leave behind our countryman Anil Kumble. This stalwart had taken 619 wickets after playing 132 tests. If Ashwin has to leave this legend behind, he/she will have to take 97 wickets first. Only after doing this, Ashwin will be able to leave behind Anil Kumble’s record.
