Race between Ashwin and Lyon in international wickets!

India spinner Ravi Ashwin became India's third spinner to pick 700 international wickets with a 5-wicket-haul vs West Indies

Ashwin is one of the best spinners in the modern era and has dominated Test cricket in the last few years

Ashwin closed in on his great rival Nathan Lyon who is possibly the only spinner that matches Ashwin's legacy right now

Lyon, who is currently injured, helped Australia win the first 2 Test matches of the series

Lyon at the moment has 496 wickets to his name and is close followed by Ashwin - who has 479

Ashwin, however, has played far lesser number of matches While Lyon has played 122, Ashwin is currently playing his 93rd

India will not play a lot of Test matches this year due to the ODI World Cup 2023
