Ashwin had three wickets in the Kanpur Test’s first innings, while Axar Patel had five.Ashwin has taken 30 five-wicket runs in his career.

Ashwin now trails Anil Kumble (619), and Kapil Dev (434) in India’s all time list of highest Test wicket-takers.

Ashwin is the fourth Indian cricketer to take over 400 wickets.Monday’s feat made Ashwin the 13th highest wicket-taker of Tests, surpassing Wasim Akram (414).He is third among active cricketers in taking Test wickets, behind James Anderson and Stuart Broad, who have 524 wickets and 632, respectively.

Ashwin, who made his Test debut against the West Indies in Delhi in November 2011, has claimed his wickets at an average of 24.5 and a strike rate 52.4.

When Ashwin was asked about his achievement, he said that it was a milestone and that he didn’t feel like passing Harbhajan.

To be honest, I feel absolutely nothing.These are milestones that are always kept under the tab and it’s amazing.Rahul Bhai has probably said the same thing since he took over.”It doesn’t matter how many wickets you take or how many runs you score in 10 year, it’s the memories that count.” Ashwin said after the match, “So, I want some really special moments going forward.

Although he may not consider it very important, Harbhajan took Monday to Twitter to congratulate him for his achievement.

“Congratulations @ashwinravi99, God bless.Keep shining,” Harbhajan wrote in Monday’s tweet.

After Ashwin’s outstanding performances with bat and ball, wicket-keeper cricketer Dinesh Karthik compared Ashwin to legendary Kapil dev in a Cricbuzz cricket show.

“Obviously, I don’t think I’m in a position to judge either of them but I must admit they should be talked about in the same breath when talking about Indian cricket because both have been match-winners and have been exemplary and have been definitely one of the best all-rounders that have come out of India for a long time,” Karthik stated during a conversation with Simon Doull on Cricbuzz.

You have to place him there (among India’s best all-rounders) given the number of Man of the Series awards he has won and the accolades he’s received.He has a remarkable record of 417 wickets in 80 Tests.

His contribution and scoring of five hundred runs is more impressive than many batters who play for longer periods of time in Test matches.Karthik said that there are many people who have played 30 to 35 Tests and have not managed five hundred.
