India vs South Africa: R Ashwin hurtles on, speed bumps no bar

Hindustan Times  

Muttiah Muralitharan scalped his 350th Test wicket in the second innings of the first Test of a home series against Bangladesh. Eighteen years later, Ravichandran Ashwin too scalped his 350th Test wicket in the second innings of the first Test of a home series, this one against South Africa. Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin The Sri Lankan off-spinner’s 350th wicket came in the middle of an 80-wicket year, then the Test record for a spinner—any spinner—in a single calendar year, breaking his own mark of 75 wickets that was set in the previous year, 2000. Ashwin made his long-format debut at home in 2011, bang in the middle of India’s worst away season, where they were beaten in eight consecutive Tests in England and Australia. Ashwin’s incredible haul of 248 Test wickets at home has been attributed to two factors: the nature of the surfaces in India and the advent of the DRS, which has forced the under-pressure umpires to uphold more LBW appeals than they ever did in the past.
