Ashwin has already broken a lot of records in this series against England and now there are three more records that he can break during his 100th Test match.
Highest five wicket haul in WTC history
In the history of the World Test Championship, Ravichandran Ashwin has the feat of taking five wickets 9 times. In the first Test between Australia and New Zealand, Nathan Lyon overtook him and became the first bowler in WTC history to take 10 five-wicket hauls. Now, if Ashwin takes five wickets in any innings, he has a chance to equal that and, along with Lyon, become the joint bowlers with the highest number of five-wicket hauls in WTC history. In fact, if Ashwin achieves the feat of taking five wickets twice in both the innings, then he will have 11 five-wicket hauls in his name and will become the bowler with the highest number of five-wicket hauls in WTC history.
Most five wicket hauls by an Indian
Ravichandran Ashwin has taken five wickets 35 times in his Test career and in history he is tied with Anil Kumble in the list of Indian bowlers taking most five wickets. If Ashwin succeeds in taking five wickets, he will surpass Kumble and become the Indian bowler who has taken the most five wickets in Test cricket.
Most 10 wicket hauls by an Indian
Ravichandran Ashwin has the record of taking ten wickets 8 times in Test matches. In this case also, along with Ahil Kumble, he is the Indian bowler who has taken the highest number of 10 wickets. If he is successful in taking 10 wickets in the Dharamsala Test, then Ashwin can become the Indian bowler who has taken the most 10 wickets in Test cricket by surpassing Kumble.
