Ravichandran Ashwin brought an end to Mitchell Starc's cameo early on Day 2 Friday Feb 24,2017 of the first Test between India and Australia in Pune as the hosts bowled the visitors out for 260 in the first innings.
This was Ashwin's third wicket of the innings and his 64th in cricket's longest format in this home season. As a result Ashwin broke Kapil Dev's long standing record of most Test wickets taken in a season by an Indian bowler, which the 'Haryana Hurricane' had set in the 1979/80 season.
