Speaking in the ICC Review, Ponting said that Ashwin is one of the greatest players not only of India but of the entire world. He said, “His performance at home has been excellent and abroad too. He will be remembered as one of the greatest spin bowlers and Indian cricketers of all time. I have been his fan.”
Ashwin has made many big records in his career. He has equaled Muttiah Muralitharan who has won the most “Player of the Series” titles in Test cricket. Muralitharan had achieved this feat 11 times, and now Ashwin has also achieved this feat 11 times.
Apart from this, Ashwin holds the record for taking most Test wickets in a calendar year. He had taken 72 wickets in 2016. Ashwin is also the fastest bowler to take 250 and 350 wickets in Test cricket. Also, he has dismissed left-handed batsmen 268 times, which is a world record.
Ashwin’s achievements earn him a special place in cricket history, and the praise from great players like Ponting has sealed his greatness.
