India's premium spinner with the red ball, R. Ashwin is the side's leading wicket-taker among the current crop of players.
Trending
The off-spinner has 336 wickets from 64 matches, including an innings-best of 7/59 and match-best of 13/140. He also has 26 five-wicket hauls and seven ten-wicket hauls.
A differently unique number awaits Ashwin ahead of his assignment in Australia. The bowler is 24.5 overs (149 balls) away from bowling 3000 overs in Tests.
Upon reaching there, he will be the sixth Indian to do so, after Anil Kumble (6808.2 overs in 132 matches), Harbhajan Singh (4763.2 overs in 103 matches), Kapil Dev (4623.2 overs in 131 matches), Bishan Singh Bedi (3560.4 overs in 67 matches) and Zaheer Khan (3130.5 overs in 92 matches) to reach there.
Ashwin's closest colleague still active in the game is Ishant Sharma, who has bowled 2763 overs in 87 Test matches.
