Ashwin Equals Kumble’s Record For Most Test Fifer By Indian Bowler

New Delhi: Ravichandran Ashwin picked up a fifer on Day 3 of the fourth Test between India and England and helped the hosts bowl out Ben Stokes and company for 145 runs in the third innings. The veteran spinner equaled the tally with Anil Kumble for most Test fifers by an Indian. Now both of them have 5-Test wicket hauls in front of their name.

However, Ashwin reached this epic feat in just 99 matches and Kumble took 132 Tests. India are currently just 152 runs away from winning this Test match and series. Ashwin also reached his 500 Test wickets mark during this series.

In the pursuit of 192 runs for a series win, India reached 40/0 in eight overs at stumps on day three of the fourth Test against England at the JSCA International Stadium on Sunday.
