Over the last decade, along with a batter who is missing from the ongoing series for personal reasons, he has been the milestone man of Indian cricket. Soon after adding another feather to his cap — that of becoming only the second Indian and ninth bowler ever to earn 500 Test wickets — R. Ashwin was content and stressed he isn’t interested in setting his eyes on Mt. 620.
The only other bowler with more Test wickets than him is Anil Kumble, the legendary leg-spinner. But Ashwin is not even thinking of getting closer to Kumble’s tally of 619 wickets. “No, that’s 120 wickets away man. You know I’m 37-years-old. I don’t know what’s in store next or what’s in store in the next two months. You play this series, and then what lies ahead, You really don’t know. I don’t want to really jump the gun. I have kept it this way for the last four-five years and it’s been very simple. And it’s worked for me. Why change anything that’s working for you?”
