IND vs SA, 2nd Test: Ashwin Becomes 4th Indian To Scalp 50 Test Wickets Against South Africa

The visitors' first innings folded for 275, still 326 runs behind India's first innings tally of 601/5 declared

Ace spinner Ravichandran Ashwin picked up four wickets on Day 3 of the second Test against South Africa in Pune

Ashwin finished with figures of 4/69, accounting for the wickets of South Africa skipper Faf du Plessis (64), Quinton de Kock (31), Kagiso Rabada (2) and Keshav Maharaj (72)

In due course, Ashwin became the fourth Indian bowler to take 50 wickets against the Proteas in the longest format of the game

Ashwin thus joined an elite list of Indian bowlers who have taken 50 or more Test wickets against South Africa, which includes Anil Kumble, Harbhajan Singh and Javagal Srinath

Kumble tops the chart with 84 wickets, followed by Srinath and Harbhajan, who had scalped 64 and 60 wickets, respectively, against South Africa
