Ravichandran Ashwin – Jonny Bairstow 100th Test : Indian team star Ravichandran Ashwin is being talked about a lot at the moment. When he lands in Dharamshala to play the last Test match against England, it will be his 100th Test. He has played 99 tests so far and is now ready to reach new heights. However, in the meantime, England’s middle order batsman Jonny Bairstow is not being talked about a bit, but he is also preparing for his 100th Test after playing 99 Tests. The list does not end here. In the coming few days, more players can be seen playing their 100th Test match.
Ashwin will play his 100th test in Dharamshala
Ashwin is sure to play in the Dharamshala Test. Although the playing eleven of the Indian team has not been announced yet, but it is difficult to assume that he will sit out of the team. The way he has been performing so far, at least he has become an integral part of the Test team. Ashwin has taken 507 wickets in 99 tests. Only Sri Lanka’s Muttiah Muralitharan took more wickets after playing 99 Tests. In this series he has crossed the mark of 500 wickets. Till now he has taken 5 wickets 35 times and 10 wickets 8 times. Not only this, he has scored 3309 runs during this period. This includes 14 half-centuries and 5 centuries. Meanwhile, New Zealand’s Kane Williamson and Tim Southee are also waiting to play their 100th Test. Both have played 99 tests so far.
4 players will play their 100th test in two days
The last Test between India and England will start from March 7 and the test between New Zealand and Australia will start the very next day i.e. from March 8. If Kane Williamson and Tim Southee play in this, their dream of 100th Test will also be fulfilled. Kane Williamson has scored 8675 runs after playing 99 tests. This includes 32 centuries and 55 half-centuries. If we talk about Tim Southee, he has scored 378 wickets in 99 tests.
