Team India’s premier spinner R Ashwin took eight wickets in the Nagpur test against Sri Lanka, with the last of them being his 300th Test dismissal, thus making him the quickest to reach the milestone.
After the achievement, Ashwin involved in a friendly chat with former Sri Lanka player and now a well-known Commentator Russel Arnold. The conversation began after Arnold took Twitter to congratulate Ashwin on becoming the quickest to 300-Test wickets.
“Congratulations on your wonderful achievement @ashwinravi99 #quickestto300wkts always enjoy watching you bowl…..ah …and thanks for the 👍 after hearing my Thamisz pitch report this morning. #confidence,” the cricketer-turned-commentator wrote.
Ashwin was quick to return the favour to Arnold as he thanked the latter for the congratulatory message and also praised him for his commentary, especially in Tamil as well as his banters on Twitter.
“Thanks Russ, enjoy your commentary in general, the Tamil commentary this morning was even more enjoyable, but your twitter banters are a notch better than the best,” Ashwin wrote.
