114-YR-OLD RECORD

-

Ravichandr­an Ashwin on Monday bagged his 28th five-wicket haul; he started the proceeding­s for Team India with the new ball and took a wicket off his first ball, thus emulating a 114-year-old record. Ashwin became the third spinner and first since South Africa's Bert Vogler to pick up a wicket off the first ball of an innings in Test cricket. Vogler had achieved the feat in 1907 in a Test match against England at The Oval.
