New Delhi. Indian cricket team’s experienced spinner R Ashwin remains in the news for some reason or the other. In the recent England Test series, he played the 100th Test match of his career. Also completed 500 test wickets during this series. He is the fastest bowler from India to take 500 Test wickets. Former coach Ravi Shastri believes that he should not think about retirement at the moment.
Shastri said, “Such big achievements.” It is no joke to achieve so many things. Best wishes to you. I believe you still have a lot of cricket left in you. Spinners mature with age. Proud of you. Awesome, keep enjoying and keep troubling the batsmen for at least two more years. ,
Shastri believes that the speed with which R Ashwin takes wickets can break the record of great Indian bowler Anil Kumble. This bowler, who completed 500 wickets during the Test series against England, has a chance to take Anil Kumble’s record of 619 wickets in his name. If he plays for the next two years, he will easily cross this figure.
Kumble’s 619 wickets remain the biggest ‘benchmark’ for bowlers in Indian Test history. He said about Ashwin’s huge contribution to India’s success in the last decade, “In my opinion, he is one of the best players who have represented the country. His wicket count is excellent. There has been a mutual relationship between his own success and that of India. He is never satisfied and always wants better and better.
