Ravichandran Ashwin will become the 14th Indian player to appear in 100 Test matches after he steps out at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala for the fifth series between India and England. This is also the last match of the series, which is scheduled to take place on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During a recent interview, R Ashwin revealed that for him, the journey is more important than the final destination, despite the fact that playing 100 Test matches is a fantastic accomplishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the pre-match news conference, Ashwin said its a big occasion, from the look and sound of it. The journey has been special, more so than the destination. Additionally, Ravichandran Ashwin said that his family values the 100 Tests he has played.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ashwin said the 100th Test matters a lot to him, but it matters more to his father, mother, wife, and kids. He said, his kids are more excited about the Test. Families go through a lot during a player\u2019s journey. His father still answers 40 calls on what his son did during a game, Ashwin said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When asked about playing in the chilly Dharamsala weather, he responded that he had played under-19 cricket for two months 21 years ago. It will take some time for fingers to acclimate as the weather is really cold, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, Ashwin recently became the second Indian bowler to ever surpass 500 wickets in a Test match. He reached this milestone in Rajkot while playing against England in the third match of the series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
India won the fourth test by five wickets, giving England an unbeatable 3-1 lead. In Hyderabad, England won the first test by a margin of 28 runs. In response, India won both the second and third tests, scoring 106 and 434 runs, respectively, in Visakhapatnam and Rajkot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
