Ravichandran Ashwin eyes several records in India vs England second Test

All eyes will be on Ravichandran Ashwin as the Indian spin magician is on the verge of setting several records in the second Test against England. Ashwin currently has 496 wickets to his name in Tests. Ashwin needs four more dismissals to emerge as just the second bowler in the history of Indian cricket to claim 500 Test wickets. Former India skipper Anil Kumble is the only other bowler from the country who has 500 wickets or more in Test cricket. Overall, four spinners have so far breached the 500-wicket mark in this format. **India vs England 2nd Test match Live** List of highest Test wicket-takers (among spinners) Muttiah Muralitharan (Sri Lanka) - 800 Shane Warne (Australia) - 708 Anil Kumble (India) - 619 Nathan Lyon (Australia) - 517 Ravichandran Ashwin (India) - 496* Ashwin will also need just six more dismissals to become the first Indian bowler to pick up 100 wickets against England in Test cricket. Ashwin has already surpassed Kumble in terms of having the most number of wickets against England in the Test series opener. Ashwin currently remains right behind another legendary Indian cricketer Bhagwath Chandrashekhar (95 wickets) on that elite list of bowlers. Ashwin also eyes another major milestone on home soil during the second Test, currently being played in Visakhapatnam. The 37-year-old needs seven more wickets to register 350 dismissals in Tests on home soil. Ashwin is set to become just the second Indian bowler and fifth overall to set this astonishing feat. List of highest wicket-takers on home soil: Muttiah Muralitharan (Sri Lanka) - 493 James Anderson (England) - 434 Stuart Broad (England) - 398 Anil Kumble (India) - 350 Ravichandran Ashwin (India) - 343* Ashwin had bagged six wickets in the opening Test against England but could not guide his side to a victory in that game played in Hyderabad. Chasing a total of 231, the hosts fell short by 28 runs. In the second Test, Team India skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bat first. Madhya Pradesh batter Rajat Patidar is making his Test debut in the second match against England. With big names like Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja missing the game, it will certainly be a challenging task for the hosts to win the match and draw level in the series against the Ben Stokes-led side.
