🔢 As part of the five test match series, the second test between India and England will be held at Visakhapatnam. The match will start on Friday (February 2) at the Dr. YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium. 🏟️ After losing the first Test in Hyderabad last week by 28 runs, India will look to bounce back in the second Test and level the series.
🏏 India will play without Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul in the second Test. Ravichandran Ashwin has more responsibilities with Jadeja sidelined with a hamstring problem. Ashwin, who is number 1 in the Test rankings, is in the process of achieving many personal milestones by taking 6 wickets in the first match itself. 🌟
🔥 Ashwin has taken 496 wickets in 96 Tests played so far. He needed four wickets in the Vizag Test to become the second Indian and the ninth bowler to take 500 or more wickets in Test cricket. If Ashwin can achieve this feat in Visakhapatnam, he will become the fastest Indian player to take 500 wickets in Test cricket and the second fastest overall. 💨
🌐 If Ashwin can take seven wickets in the second Test, he will break the record of becoming the first Indian bowler to take 100 or more wickets in Test matches between India and England. 🔝
🔥 Ashwin has taken 34 five-wicket hauls in 96 Test matches played so far. If he can take five wickets in both innings, he will break Anil Kumble's record of 35 five-wicket hauls for India in Tests. 🔥
