IND vs BAN - Will Ashwin be able to beat Nathan Lyon in the Bangladesh series

IND vs BAN: The Indian cricket team is going to start a 2-match Test series against Bangladesh in Chennai from September 19. Bangladesh has recently defeated Pakistan in its own home, and after this victory, they will challenge India as a team full of confidence. The Indian team does not want to take this challenge lightly, so they have selected a strong team for the first Test. The team includes young talents as well as experienced and match-winning players, but special attention will be on spin duo R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja.

R Ashwin: One more step towards records

R Ashwin has taken over the responsibility of spin bowling in Indian Test cricket for the last several years and has taken more than 500 wickets in Test cricket. Ashwin is now eyeing to surpass the records of West Indies veteran bowler Courtney Walsh and Australia spinner Nathan Lyon. Currently, Walsh is at the 8th position with 519 wickets, while Lyon is at the 7th position with 530 wickets. Ashwin has 516 wickets in 100 Tests.

If Ashwin takes 15 wickets overall in the 2 Tests against Bangladesh, he will surpass Walsh and Lyon to reach the seventh spot. This achievement will be a significant milestone for Ashwin and a proud moment for Indian cricket fans as well.

Ravindra Jadeja: On the way to Kapil Dev's record

Ravindra Jadeja also has a chance to create a significant record in the Tests against Bangladesh. If Jadeja takes 7 wickets in the first Test, he will break Kapil Dev's record for most Test wickets on Indian soil. Jadeja currently has 213 wickets, which puts him at the fifth spot in India. Kapil Dev has 219 wickets to his name, and Jadeja has a chance to surpass Kapil Dev to reach the fourth spot.

Additionally, Jadeja is also close to completing his 300 wickets in Test cricket. He currently has 294 wickets to his name, and if he takes 6 wickets, his Test wicket tally will reach 300. This will be a significant achievement for Jadeja and will further cement his place in the history of Indian cricket.

Conclusion

The Indian cricket team is heading towards significant achievements in the series against Bangladesh, especially for R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. The brilliant bowling of these two veteran spinners will be the key to the success of the Indian team and at the same time, they will further cement their place in Test cricket. These records will be in focus in this Test series starting in Chennai and it will be interesting to see if the Indian spinners are able to achieve new milestones with their brilliant performance.
