Lillee had completed the milestone in his 48th Test and Ashwin’s two wickets in the Bangladesh first innings in the one-off Test here helped the Indian all-rounder reach the coveted landmark.
He is the sixth Indian bowler after Anil Kumble (619), Kapil Dev (434), Harbhajan Singh (417), Zaheer Khan (311), Bishan Singh Bedi (266) to reach to 250 Test wickets.
