What's the story

Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin etched his name in the history books as he stands alongside spin great Muttiah Muralitharan, to become fastest to 350 Test wickets.

He claimed eight wickets in the just-concluded Test against South Africa to attain the feat, as India won the tie by 203 runs.

Following the feat, he revealed which has been his most memorable Test wicket to date.

Special wickets

Ashwin has a few special ones to his name

Speaking on his most special wicket to date, Ashwin said that while there are a number of them, his maiden Test wicket of Darren Bravo remains special, along with David Warner and AB de Villiers.

"Warner's wicket in Bangalore on Day 2 morning is one of the special. Not to forget the AB de Villiers' wicket in Nagpur in 2015," he told BCCI.
