 Ravichandran Ashwin becomes 5th bowler in history to dismiss father-son duo in Tests; check full list here


On the opening day of the first Test match between India and West Indies in Dominica, veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin weaved his magic once again. The right-arm office bagged a five-wicket haul, his 33rd five-fer in international red-ball cricket, as India bundled out West Indies for just 150 runs. Apart from completing 700 wickets in international cricket, Ashwin also etched his name in an extremely rare list.

The Indian spinner became only the fifth bowler in Test cricket history to dismiss a father-son duo during his career. Ashwin achieved the milestone when he dismissed Tagenarine Chanderpaul. In 2011, the Tamil Nadu spinner bagged the wicket of Tagenarine's father Shivnarine Chanderpaul.

Apart from Ashwin, four bowlers achieved the feat in Test cricket.
