Ravichandran Ashwin. Today he is playing Test at his home ground i.e. Chennai. Ravichandran Ashwin stepped in when the top order of the Indian team disappointed in the Test between India and Bangladesh. He completed his half-century by batting brilliantly. Meanwhile, Ashwin also did something that pure batsmen KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer have not been able to do so far. We are even talking about statistics in the history of the World Test Championship.
Rohit Sharma has the most runs for India in the World Test Championship.
Rohit Sharma is the Indian batsman who scored the most runs in the history of the ICC World Test Championship i.e. WTC. He has scored 2558 runs in 33 matches so far. After this comes Virat Kohli’s number. He has scored 2241 runs in 37 matches. India has a total of 10 batsmen, who have scored more than 1000 runs. Now the new name of Ravichandran Ashwin has also been added. Ashwin has added more than 1000 runs to his account by playing 36 matches.
KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer are yet to score 1000 runs in WTC.
If we talk about KL Rahul then he has not been able to touch this stage yet. KL Rahul has played 17 matches in the World Test Championship and has scored only 974 runs. Shreyas Iyer has scored 811 runs in 14 matches. It can be said that Ashwin has played more matches, but it should also be noted that Ashwin is not a pure batsman. He is known and recognized for his bowling. But Rahul and Shreyas are batsmen and come to bat before Ashwin.
KL Rahul disappoints again, and Shreyas Iyer is out on the dock in the Duleep Trophy too.
KL Rahul has also been selected in the squad for India vs Bangladesh series and is also playing in the Chennai Test, but Shreyas Iyer has not been able to make a place in the 15-man squad. Shreyas is currently playing Duleep Trophy, but even there his bat is not able to do anything. In such a situation, it seems very difficult to say whether he will be selected in the team for the second test. Meanwhile, Ashwin and Jadeja together took Team India out of trouble and now the Indian team seems to be reaching a strong position.
