Ravichandran Ashwin reaches 500 wickets

Of the nine bowlers who have claimed 500 Test wickets, India’s Ravichandran Ashwin, who has joined the club now, is by far the best batter with five centuries.

Had Ashwin, 37, chosen to focus on batting to the exclusion of bowling, it is possible he might have finished with over 10,000 Test runs.

Last week he became only the ninth man to reach the 500 milestone. On the same day, the off-spinner pulled out of the third Test against England because of a family emergency but now he is back with the squad.
