New Delhi: Ravichandran Ashwin took his 100th Test wicket against Australia when he dismissed Alex Carey for nought on Friday. The milestone came on Day 1 of the second Test between India and Australia, named the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after two legends from both teams, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. Ashwin took the wicket an over after Ravindra Jadeja brought up a milestone of his own. ‘Jaddu’ became the fastest Indian to 2500-plus Test runs and 250 Test wickets.
