On Saturday, spinner Ravichandran Ashwin passed Harbhajan Singh to take over as India's second-highest wicket-taker in international cricket.
Aswhin did this in the opening Test of a two-match series in Dominica against the West Indies.
The seasoned spinner finished with a combined tally of 12/131 after taking 5/60 in the first inning and 7/71 in the second inning. This was one of his best away outings.
The means of this performance. In 271 international games, Ashwin has 709 wickets. The average of these wickets was 25.67, and his best bowling stats were 7/59. In international cricket, he has had 27 four-wicket hauls, 34 five-wicket hauls, and 8 ten-wicket hauls.
Anil Kumble, who has taken 953 wickets in 401 matches at an average of 30.06 and has the best figures of 10/74, is India's best bowler in international cricket. He's taken 39 four-wicket, 37 five-wicket, and 8 ten-wicket catches.
The third-best bowling numbers by an Indian in an away Test are Ashwin's 12/131. Bhagwath Chandrashekhar, who combined to take 12/104 in a Test match against Australia in Melbourne in 1977, had India's greatest overseas performance. Irfan Pathan, whose 12/126 at Harare in 2005 demolished Zimbabwe, comes next.
The spinner also had the third-best bowling line-up in the India-West Indies Test with 12/131. the finest effort by an Indian bowler against the Windie.
