Ind Vs WI 2023: Ranvichandran Ashwin once again proved why he is one of the best spinners in the world. On the first day of the first Ind Vs WI 2023 test, Ashwin took a fifer. It not only showcased why he is the number 1 ranked bowler but also why he is so pivotal to India.
We might never get the answer to why India chose to bench him in wtc 2023 final. But we have to look past it now. This is a new beginning for Indian Cricket Team and they started the first day in absolute style.
The main star of the first day was undoubtedly our spin maestro Ashwin. Who broke the West Indies batting spine and also joined a list of elite bowlers who have achieved a very unqiue record. And he also became the first Indian bowler to achieve that unqiue record.
Ind Vs WI 2023: Father-Son Duo
As soon as Ash dismissed West Indies openor Tagenarine Chanderpaul he became the fifth bowler in history to dismiss both father and son. Ashwin took the wicket of Tagenarine’s father Shivnarine Chanderpaul 12 years ago.
No other Indian bowler has been able to ahieve this feat. And it will be a long time before any Indian bowler will join this list. The Chadepaul duo appears three times in this list. An infamous record that they never would have wanted to achieve in the first place.
The Elite List
The spin maestro became the fifth bowler in cricket history to dismiss father-son duo in cricket. The list involves some very greats of the cricketing world. Let’s take a look at the complete lis.
Ian Botham dismissed Lance Cairns and Chris Carins of New Zealand and became the first bowler to achieve the feat. Wasim Akram followed him by dismissing the same duo in test cricket. Australian pacer Mitchell Starc and South African off-spinner dismissed the Chanderpaul duo as well to join the list.
