How Ashwin was denied a rare record because of Ravindra Jadeja's magic today!

Ravichandran Ashwin needed just two more wickets on the final day to reach 30 wickets for the series against England, and he would have been just the third player in the history of Test cricket to attain 30 wickets and 300 runs in a series. England legend Ian Botham and former Aussie all-rounder Richie Benaud are the only two players to have achieved this feat.

However, Ashwin did become the first player to capture 25 wickets and 250 runs in a series since Botham did it in the 1985 Ashes series. In fact, he became the first player to do so in a 5-match series since South African Trevor Goddard did it against Australia in the 1966-67 series.
