For R. Ashwin and Jonny Bairstow, this week at the foothills of the imposing Dhauladhar mountain ranges would coincide with their scaling ‘Peak 100’ in Tests.
When the fifth and final India-England Test opens here on Thursday, the duo would share the milestone of playing the 100th Test.
No doubt, Ashwin’s journey has been more glorious and comes days after he took the 500th Test wicket in a winning cause. In contrast, Bairstow still has not been in the best of forms with the bat in the series.
