With 507 wickets in 99 Tests at an impressive average of 23.91, including 35 five-wicket hauls, Ashwin&#8217;s illustrious career epitomizes excellence.<br \/>Ponting remarked on Ashwin&#8217;s remarkable achievements, acknowledging his mastery of spin bowling across diverse conditions. &#8220;He&#8217;s a master of spin in any conditions. He&#8217;s been an incredible cricketer, no doubt about it,&#8221; Ponting expressed in the latest episode of the ICC Review.<br \/>Having had the privilege of coaching Ashwin during their stint at Delhi Capitals, Ponting attested to the spinner&#8217;s relentless pursuit of perfection. <br \/>&#8220;I had a chance to coach him for a couple of years at Delhi and loved working with him. He&#8217;s got a lot of theories and philosophies on the game, which I like. He&#8217;s always done things a little bit differently and done things his way. But he just continued to evolve as a bowler,&#8221; Ponting remarked. <br \/>He further emphasized Ashwin&#8217;s unwavering commitment to refining his craft, noting his penchant for innovation and continuous improvement.<\/p>\n<div data-pos=\"0\" class=\"id-r-component QbQNS undefined  &#10;        \">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Ashwin\" msid=\"108283471\" width=\"600\" title=\"\" placeholdersrc=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/83033472.cms\" imgsize=\"23456\" resizemode=\"4\" offsetvertical=\"0\" placeholdermsid=\"\" type=\"thumb\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/thumb\/imgsize-23456,msid-108283471,width-600,resizemode-4\/108283471.jpg\" data-api-prerender=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Throughout the ongoing series against England, Ashwin has not only breached the 500-wicket milestone but has also surpassed the legendary <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/anil-kumble\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" target=\"\" frmappuse=\"1\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Anil Kumble<\/a>&#8216;s records for the most Test wickets taken in India and the most five-wicket hauls. <br \/>With this feat, Ashwin solidifies his place among the pantheon of cricketing greats, trailing only ICC Hall of Famers Muttiah Muralidaran, <!-- -->Shane Warne<!-- -->, and <!-- -->Richard Hadlee<!-- --> in terms of Test five-wicket hauls.<br \/>Reflecting on India&#8217;s commanding position in the series, Ponting acknowledged the team&#8217;s formidable performance, securing an unassailable 3-1 lead over England.
