Seasoned off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin on Wednesday went past Zaheer Khan`s tally of 597 international wickets to climb to the fourth spot on the list of Indian bowlers with the most wickets in international cricket.

Ashwin dismissed Ollie Pope in the 28th over to overtake Zaheer`s tally at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Wednesday. Ashwin now has 599 wickets across formats and is only behind former skipper Anil Kumble (953), spinner Harbhajan Singh (707), and Kapil Dev (687). The off-spinner is also on the brink of becoming the fourth Indian bowler to take 400 Test wickets.
