India vs West Indies / Ashwin's message to Team India - I am out, I am not out

India vs West Indies: Two birds with one stone. You must have heard this phrase. And, it is expected that you must also understand its meaning. Ashwin has done the same in Dominica Test. He has fired the 'arrows' of his balls on the West Indies, but through that he has also targeted his own team. Simply put, Ashwin is fighting not only with the West Indies but also with Team India. And also know that they have the upper hand on both these fronts.

Now you will say that it is understandable for Ashwin to fight with the West Indies. But what is this Team India affair? So to understand this, you have to go to the bottom of the flashback fight. Remember the final of WTC 2023 played in England, where the Indian team management did not consider him capable of being included in the playing XI. Captain Rohit Sharma preferred Shardul Thakur over Ashwin in the playing XI. And, as soon as he did this, many kinds of questions started arising.

West Indies is not right in England, Ashwin showed it

But that was also a time and now what is seen in West Indies is also a time. When the West Indies appeared in front, the team management quickly included Ashwin in the playing eleven. Whether it is batting or bowling, no one had better figures than this in the current team against the West Indies.

Now when he got the chance, Ashwin showed how big a player he is in white jersey and red ball. Ashwin made 5 West Indies batsmen his victim in the first innings of the Dominica Test and did not know how many records were made with this. But before telling you about him, let us know in what manner former Indian cricketer Maninder Singh has accepted his iron. Please tell that Maninder Singh himself has also been a spinner.

Former spinner Maninder Singh also accepted Ashwin's iron

According to what Maninder Singh said about Ashwin, even if there is a little help from the pitch, then Ashwin does not miss. He also felt the Dominica Test pitch very well and as a result of that he was able to take 5 wickets. You see his style, see his ability to test the wicket, the thinking with which he implements his plan, it is fun to see.

5 wickets are not reduced 33 times, create records

Now come to Ashwin's records, which he made while taking 5 wickets in the first innings of Dominica Test. Ashwin took 5 wickets for 60 runs in 24.3 overs in West Indies' first innings. This was the 33rd time in Test cricket, when he took 5 wickets. With this, he not only pushed back James Anderson (32 times) but also became the sixth bowler in the world to take 5 wickets most times.

Fastest Indian to take 700 international wickets

In the first innings against the West Indies, Ashwin made another big achievement in his name. He became the third Indian to take 700 wickets in international cricket. Ashwin's 700th victim became Alzarri Joseph. Ashwin did this in the 351st innings of his amazing Test career. Meaning he became the second bowler in the world after Muralitharan to take 700 wickets in the shortest innings. Not only this, he is the fastest Indian to reach this point in terms of balls. Ashwin achieved 700 international wickets in 32278 balls.

Ashwin hit two birds with one stone

Now when the player who has such records in his pocket, then the opposing teams will be afraid of him. The condition of West Indies is also similar now. Anyway, history is the witness that Ashwin has always played against the West Indies. He has just corrected his record by taking 5 wickets in the first innings of Dominica Test. By doing this, he has pushed the West Indies towards defeat, as well as given a befitting reply to the Indian team and management, who try to avoid including him in the playing XI by citing the condition.
