Ravichandran Ashwin should be “right up there” among India’s all-time
greats and his spin twin Ravindra Jadeja also is n’t far behind, feels
former India head coach Ravi Shastri. Ashwin and Jadeja has emerged as one
of the deadliest duo in world cricket as they have picked a staggering 462
wickets between them in the 45 Tests that they have played together.
The duo collected 16 wickets in the Delhi Test to add to their 15 in
the first Test at Nagpur as India took a 2-0 lead in the four-Test series.
Ashwin, who has so far taken 463 Test wickets in his illustrious 12-year
international career, on Wednesday replaced England’s James Anderson as the
No. 1 bowler in the ICC Test rankings.”I never compare eras, but the record that he (Ashwin) has – especially in
Indian conditions – would make him a favourite to get into that (all-time
XI) squad,” Shastri told The ICC Review,
