He is just eight wickets shy from equalling Kumble’s 111 wickets in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Also, with 686 wickets, he is just two wickets away from eclipsing Kapil Dev's tally of 687 wickets in international cricket.

Notably, Ashwin got 14 scalps across the two Tests played earlier against Australia.

With the final two Tests to be played, Ashwin has a terrific opportunity to eclipse the records.
