To the delight of Indian cricket fans, Rohit Sharma's troops will kickstart their home season with a much-awaited Test series against Bangladesh. The series consists of two Test matches and begins with a high-voltage game at M. A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. 

The assignment holds significant importance for India, as it will give them a golden opportunity to consolidate their first position in the WTC points table. Given the importance of the series, India will heavily rely on veteran cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin, who has been a potent all-round weapon for them at home. 

Since making his debut, Ashwin has been a ruthless force, especially with the ball, for India in the purest format. In his illustrious career, Ashwin has achieved several significant milestones. However, as mentioned below, he also awaits a few more remarkable feats in the upcoming series against Bangladesh. 

R Ashwin On The Verge Of Surpassing Anil Kumble In An Elite List

India's legendary spinner Anil Kumble, who helped them script several memorable wins, has eight ten-wicket hauls in Test cricket. Notably, Ravichandran Ashwin has already equalled Kumble's tally and needs only one ten-fer to go past the talismanic bowler on this list. So, if Ashwin claims ten wickets in any of the two Tests, he will record the most ten-wicket hauls for India in the purest format. 

R Ashwin Could Become India's Most Successful Test Bowler Vs Bangladesh

Ravichandran Ashwin has been a fantastic performer with the ball against all teams, and Bangladesh is not an exception. The wily off-spinner has 23 Test wickets against the Tigers, claiming the second position below Zaheer Khan, who has 31 scalps. So, if Ashwin takes nine more wickets, he will be India's most successful Test bowler against Bangladesh. 

R Ashwin Might Eclipse Zaheer Khan And Attain A Phenomenal Feat

Ravichandran Ashwin could also become India's most successful bowler against Bangladesh across formats. The veteran spinner has 37 wickets versus the Tigers and is only behind Zaheer Khan, who has 44 scalps under his belt. So, if Ashwin gets eight more wickets in the upcoming series, he will eclipse the former pacer and claim the first position on the elite list.
