Looming Sunset Of The ‘Ravis’?
Earlier in 2024, on the first day of the test series against England, during the test match in Hyderabad, the spin duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja crossed a significant joint milestone. They passed Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh’s record of 501 wickets in 54 test matches together, and they did this feat in 50 tests, four fewer than the legendary duo.
While lauding this tremendous achievement of the pair, perhaps the time has come to ponder the concern that this feat also implies. When Kumble and Harbhajan were both around, usually only one of them played tests in SENA countries at a time, given the nature of the pitches. At home, when both played in the XI, they sometimes had a third spinner – a Murali Karthik, for instance. And in that era, there were change bowlers who could also pose a threat to the best of batsmen – Tendulkar, for one. Even Sehwag, Yuvraj and later, Suresh Raina, could roll their arm over for on occasion, pick up a wicket.
