Ace India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin revealed that former captain and all-rounder Kapil Dev had sent a small hand-written note and bouquet for surpassing his tally of 434 Test wickets.

On Sunday, Ashwin went past Kapil’s 434 wickets to become the second highest wicket-taker for India in Test cricket. While Kapil managed the feat in 131 Tests, Ashwin reached the mark in his 85th Test.
