The third match of the Test series being played between India and England became memorable for experienced spinner R Ashwin. In this match, he was just one wicket away from making a big record. By taking the wicket of opener Jack Crawley in the first innings against England, he created a record which seems like a dream. In Test cricket, this bowler has made the record of taking the fastest 500 Test wickets for India.

The name of Australia's great spinner Shane Warne is in fourth place.
Muttiah Muralitharan achieved the feat of completing 500 wickets while bowling in just 144 Test innings. India's R Ashwin has managed to do this after 184 innings. Indian legend Anil Kumble had achieved this special feat in 188 innings. Meanwhile, Australia's Shane Warne completed 500 Test wickets by playing 201 innings.
