300 man Ashwin picks his favourite dismissals!

Ashwin says the wickets of David Warner and Darren Bravo are special

Bengaluru, November 28: R Ashwin on Monday (November 27) entered the history sheets as the fastest bowler to 300 Test wickets.

A day after the heady day, Ashwin numbered out his most memorable scalps in his 54-Test journey.

"There have been a lot of special wickets. I will just pick a few. Probably, my first Test wicket of Darren Bravo will always be special.

"I have dismissed David Warner a few times. But, I would say amongst the 300 I have taken so far, Warner's wicket in Bangalore on Day 2 morning is one of the special.

"Not to forget the AB de Villiers' wicket in Nagpur in 2015," the off-spinner said told India's fielding coach R Sridhar in a video interview posted by bcci.tv.

"Kane Williamson four out of four was the another special trail I went on. He is not an easy batsman to be dismissed. Joe Root's wicket when he nicked to slip. Alastair Cook in Mohali.

"As I keep talking about it, I keep getting reminded about it and will talk more and more about dismissals. What is important for me is to look forward and perform," he said.

Ashwin was quick to remember the milestone wickets - 100th, 200th and 300th.

"100th was Darren Sammy (West Indies) in Mumbai, 200th was Kane Williamson (New Zealand) in Kanpur and 300th Lahiru Gamage (Sri Lanka) in Nagpur," Ashwin said.
