Ashwin breaks Lillee record to fastest 250 wickets

Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin on Sunday created the record of claiming 250 Test wickets in least number of matches in his 45th Test, eclipsing legendary Australian fast bowler Dennis Lillee.

Lillee had completed the milestone in his 48th Test and Ashwin’s two wickets in the Bangladesh first innings in the one-off Test here helped the Indian all-rounder reach the coveted landmark.
