India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has said that surpassing Harbhajan Singh`s tally of 417 Test wickets is a "wonderful milestone". Ashwin on Monday had surpassed Harbhajan Singh to become the country`s third-highest wicket-taker in Test cricket. Ashwin scalped the wicket of Tom Latham (52) to go past the milestone.

"These are numbers that are just happening because of the effort I have been putting in. I am trying to enjoy my game. I am not worried about what number I am surpassing, it is a wonderful milestone. When Harbhajan Singh bowled that famous spell against Australia in 2001, I did not think I would be an off-spinner one day," Ashwin told teammate Shreyas Iyer in a video posted on bcci.tv.
