When India’s Ravichandran Ashwin dismissed South Africa’s Theunis de Bruyn in the second innings of the first Test between the two sides, he became the joint-fastest, along with Muttiah Muralitharan, to 350 Test wickets. Ashwin went on to fish as the highest wicket-taker in the three-match series.
Ashwin’s 350th
On October 6, 2019 – the fifth day of the first Test at Visakhapatnam – Ashwin grabbed his 350th Test wicket. Ashwin tossed this delivery wide of off stump with plenty of revolutions on the bail. Theunis de Bruyn committed to his stroke, got the inside edge and was out bowled as he played it onto his stumps. It was Ashwin’s only wicket in the innings, but it was enough to make him joint-fastest to 350 Test wickets.
