Ashwin hot on trails of Anil Kumble –
India’s star spinner Ravichandran Ashwin is in pursuit of former skipper Anil Kumble. The 37-year-old is set to become the second-fastest bowler to reach the 500-wicket mark. For the record, Muttiah Muralitharan is the fastest-ever bowler to achieve this feat.
Anil Kumble is the only bowler to claim 600 wickets from India in the Test format. Harbhajan Singh wicket 417 wickets is third on the list. Andrew Symonds was the 600th Test wicket for Anil Kumble during his illustrious career.
Former India player Gautam Gambhir recently spoke about the effects of captaincy on a player. Speaking to SPORTSKEEDA, Gambhir said “I don’t think being a captain affects a batter’s game. There have been many captains who have given great performances while being captains. It’s about the individual mindset. MS Dhoni, Sourav Ganguly, and Anil Kumble have performed well. Similarly, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have done it too.”
Former India legend Yuvraj Singh has spoken about Ashwin’s future in the white ball formats. Speaking to the Times of India, the 42-year-old said “Ashwin is a great bowler but I don’t think he deserves a place in ODIs and T20s. He is very good with the ball, but what does he bring with the bat? Or as a fielder? In the Test team, yes, he should be there. But in white-ball cricket, I don’t think he deserves a place,”
