Rajkot Test: Ashwin enters 500-club after hitting 'dark tunnel' in 2018

Ravichandran Ashwin on Friday became the second Indian bowler after Anil Kumble to take 500 Test wickets during the third Test against England --- a feat which means a lot to the senior off-spinner after enduring a phase when he did know how to come out of the "dark tunnel" he had hit. Ashwin also became only the third off-spinner to achieve the feat and continues to be the second highest wicket-taker for India behind Kumble, who ended his career with 619 scalps. The 37-year-old reached the milestone on day two of the ongoing Test. He needed just one wicket for the feat and that came in the way of opener Zak Crawley, who mis-timed a sweep which landed in the safe hands of Rajat Patidar at short fine leg. The desire to excel and evolve has remained very intrinsic to Ravichandran Ashwin's core existence but between 2018 and 19, the ace spinner felt that it was all over for him, leave alone thinking about having a shot at 500 Test wickets.

Real show stealer was Boomball: Ashwin lauds Bumrah's Himalayan feat

Lavishing praise on teammate Jasprit Bumrah, senior India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin said "Boomball" stole the show in the second Test against England and the pacer reaching top of the ICC rankings across three formats is a "Himalayan feat".
