India vs Bangladesh 2017,One-off Test, Day 4: 5 talking points

Tejas V
Rahim will be a happy man after scoring centuries in consecutive matches

#5 Ashwin fastest bowler to 250 Test wickets

Ashwin missed out to be the fastest to 200 wickets but he has now raced away to 250

Ravichandran Ashwin is now officially the fastest bowler to reach 250 Test wickets. He achieved the feat in just his 45th Test match for India. The TN bowler's 250th scalp was Bangladesh’s centurion Mushfiqur Rahim.

After toiling hard for almost the whole of first innings, Ashwin was rewarded at the end of it. He now has 252 Test wickets after he bagged two more in Bangladesh’s second innings.

India consolidated their superior position in the match by reducing Bangladesh to 103/3 at the end of Day 4. The ball is spinning well off the pitch and the awkward bounce in the wicket will definitely help Ashwin on the last day of the Test match.

Ashwin now looks to be in good flow which he lacked in the first innings. He will definitely add to his wickets to his tally on the fifth and final day of the one-off Test match.
