DHARAMSHALA: Milestones don't matter, wickets do. Kuldeep Yadav, having just raced to 50 Test wickets in the second-quickest time in cricket history, was handed this important lesson from his senior spin partner Ravichandran Ashwin here on Thursday.
Time will tell if it was a rare passing-of-the-mantle moment, but as the Indian players trooped off the field after England's innings here on Thursday, the ball was tossed to Ashwin to keep and lead the team off the field. It seemed fitting, except Ashwin didn't agree.
