With this feat, Ashwin left behind the likes of Dennis Lillee and Waqar Younis, who took 38 Tests to get to 200 wickets. Only leg-spinner Clarrie Grimmett, the fastest to get to 200 wickets, achieved the feat in 36 Tests. ‘I plan my wickets better’“Ever since coming back from Australia (in 2014-15), I have been enjoying my last 100 wickets. I was planning my wickets better,” said Ashwin, after stumps on day four.
