R Ashwin took three wickets in the second ODI against Australia
In a historic moment on September 25, R Ashwin, India’s off-spinner, eclipsed legendary spinner Anil Kumble’s record to become India’s top wicket-taker against Australia in international cricket.
Ashwin reached this milestone in the second ODI against Australia in Indore by taking the wicket of David Warner. With 144 wickets in 68 innings, he has eclipsed Kumble’s record of 142 wickets against Australia.
