Team India head coach Rahul Dravid on Monday showered plaudits on off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin for surpassing Harbhajan Singh in the list of highest wicket-takers for India in Tests. Ashwin is now third on the list, only behind the legends Anil Kumble (619) and Kapil Dev (434). Ashwin has 419 wickets after 80 Test matches, while Harbhajan picked up 417 wickets in 103 Tests for India. Dravid played most of his Test career alongside Harbhajan and praised Ashwin for eclipsing the veteran spinner.
