Ravichandran Ashwin leaves behind Dennis Lillee to become fastest to take 300 Test wickets

Ravichandran Ashwin added another feather to his already illustrious cap by becoming the fastest bowler to claim 300 Test wickets. The Tamil Nadu wrist magician took 2 matches fewer than previous record holder Dennis Lillee who had completed the feat in 56 games. The Australian legend is now behind Ashwin who dismissed Sri Lanka’s number 11 Lahiru Gamage in his 54th Test match to script his name in the list of fastest to reach 300 scalps. With Ashwin’s rattling of the Lankan lower order ruthless Indian cricket team earned historic victory of 239 runs and an innings in the second Test match of the ongoing three-match Test series in Nagpur.
