Star Indian spinner R Ashwin of achieved a very special record in the second Test being played in Chennai against England. Now he is the second most successful bowler in the Indian soil after Anil Kumble.
Earlier Harbhajan Singh held the record and Ashwin in his post match conference has apologised to his senior mate after breaking the record.
“When I was watching the 2001 series where Bhajju Pa (Harbhajan) was playing, I didn’t even imagine that I would go out and become an off-spinner for the country.
“I was still a batsman for my state, trying to accelerate a career towards batting and playing for the country, I was not sure whether I would go on and become a player for the Indian team,” Ashwin said at a virtual post- day press conference.
Ashwin left Harbhajan behind after dismissing Ben Stokes from his best off-spin on the second day of the second Test against England.
