These aren't just random numbers but the Test record of Team India's fourth-highest wicket-taker currently, R Ashwin. The senior India off-spinner is regarded as not only one of the best spinners in India but also in the world. In the list of highest wicket-takers in the history of Test cricket, Ashwin is the fifth most successful spinner currently. One basic problem I have with Ashwin is that when you look at SENA countries, Ashwin doesn't have a single five-wicket haul there. So that is my problem with accepting Ashwin as a real all-time great," explained Manjrekar.
