As far as the Indian Test side is concerned, Ravichandran Ashwin is the man of the moment. The off-spinner's eight-wicket haul in the recently-concluded Test against Sri Lanka helped Team India register a thumping innings victory.

The biggest talking point after that Nagpur Test, however, was Ashwin's feat of becoming the fastest to get to 300 Test wickets.

The Tamil Nadu lad has been in prolific form over the past few years and is well on his way to becoming an all-time great.

 

Ashwin's friends and fans were quick to send him congratulatory messages on social media after he broke the long-standing record held by Aussie Dennis Lillee. Among those messages was one by Sri Lankan player turned commentator Russel Arnold.

"Congratulations on your wonderful achievement @ashwinravi99 #quickestto300wkts always enjoy watching you bowl.....ah ...and thanks for the (thumbs up) after hearing my Thamisz pitch report this morning. #confidence," wrote Arnold on Twitter.

 

Here's his tweet

Ashwin didn't take long to thank Arnold for his praise and also complimented the Lankan for his 'enjoyable' commentary in Tamil.

"Thanks Russ, enjoy your commentary in general, the Tamil commentary this morning was even more enjoyable, but your twitter banters are a notch better than the best," replied Ashwin.

In case you missed it, Arnold and former Indian spinner Murali Kartik had an elaborate conversation in Tamil while giving the pitch report on the final day of the first Test between India and Sri Lanka in Nagpur.
