Ravichandran Ashwin needs 3 more scalps to become the fastest bowler ever to reach 250 wickets. If Ashwin manages to reach the milestone in the Chennai test, he will be doing so in 44 tests.
If Ashwin captures 5 wickets in the match, he would break former captain and all rounder Kapil Dev's record (75 wickets in 1983) for most wickets in a calendar year.
