India’s legendary spinner R Ashwin has added another impressive feat to his name in the third Test match between India and England. R Ashwin has amassed 400 wickets in 72 Tests. He is the fourth bowler from India to reach this statistic. Before Ashwin, Kapil Dev, Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh took 400 wickets in Test cricket for India. With Ashwin taking 400 wickets, there is a new debate about who Harbhajan Singh and R Ashwin are the best spin bowlers. Former India cricketer Gautam Gambhir has described R Ashwin as a good spin package.

Speaking to ESPN Cricinfo, Gautam Gambhir said: ‘It’s very difficult to compare two different times. But Harbhajan was the best when he was selected. But Ashwin has a lot of variety. Ashwin is the best spinner in the world right now. He said, ‘DRS was not available at the time of Harbhajan Singh, but he could throw another one. If we talk about the whole package, Ashwin is the best package.

India’s off spinner Harbhajan Singh has taken 417 wickets in 4 matches. However, Harbhajan Singh has not been able to secure a place in Team India for some time. The final match of the ongoing Test series between India and England will be from March 4. In such a situation, Ashwin has the opportunity to reach this record of Harbhajan Singh.
