Kanpur's Green Park Stadium is the next battleground for India and Bangladesh. The second match of the Test series is going to be played on this ground. Team India has taken the lead in the series by winning the first Test and with a win in Kanpur, it will also clean sweep Bangladesh. By the way, Kanpur's ground is going to be very special for R Ashwin too, because on this ground he can break not one or two but 6 big records. Also, Ashwin has a chance to touch the magical figure of 11. This is the figure that is like a dream for Virat Kohli too. Let us tell you what is the matter.

R Ashwin was the Player of the Match in the Chennai Test. Now if he becomes the Player of the Match in the Kanpur Test as well or if he performs well with both bat and ball, then he will be a contender for the Player of the Series. Now if Ashwin gets the Player of the Series, then this will be the 11th time in his Test career that he will win this award. Ashwin is the player who has won the most 10 Player of the Series awards in Tests for India. Virat Kohli is the only player in the current team who has won 3 Player of the Series awards in Tests. Apart from Ashwin, Sachin-Sehwag has won 5-5, and Dravid-Harbhajan, Kumble, and Kapil Dev have won 4-4 Player of the Series awards. If Ashwin becomes the Player of the Series for the 11th time, then this player will equal Muttiah Muralitharan.

Ashwin is going to break these 6 records.

  1. Apart from the Player of the Series record, Ashwin can break 6 more big records in Kanpur.
  2. Ashwin has a chance to become the first Indian to take 100 wickets in the fourth innings. He needs just one more wicket in the fourth innings.
