Team India's star spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has created history in the first Test match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2023 being played against Australia. In fact, Ashwin has taken 450 Test wickets. With this, Ashwin has become the second-fastest bowler to take 450 wickets. The record for getting the fastest 450 wickets in Test cricket is recorded in the name of Sri Lanka's legendary spinner Muttiah Muralitharan.
As soon as Ashwin took Alex Carey's wicket in the ongoing match against India and Australia in Nagpur, his name was included in the list of bowlers who took 450 wickets. Not only this, Ashwin has become the second-fastest bowler to get 450 wickets, beating many veteran bowlers. Earlier, Anil Kumble got his 450th wicket in the 93rd Test match for India. At the same time, Ashwin has taken 450 wickets in his 89th match.
In this case, Sri Lankan spinner Muttiah Muralitharan still remains at the top. Muralitharan crossed the 450-wicket mark in the 80th match itself. Along with Anil Kumble, R Ashwin has also surpassed Australia's legendary fast bowler Glenn McGrath, spinner Shane Warne and Nathan Lyon.
