Ravichandran Ashwin made a brilliant return to the Test side by claiming the wicket of Tagenarine Chanderpaul in the first Test at Windsor Park in Dominica. Ashwin, who was dropped for the WTC final, became the first Indian bowler to claim the wickets of a father-son duo. In 2011, Ashwin claimed the wicket of Shivnarine Chanderpaul on the third day of the 1st Test in New Delhi.
Tagenarine was clean bowled for 12 runs from a nicely tossed up delivery that drifted in to beat the outside edge. His father, Shivnarine, was trapped LBW for 47 runs.
Ashwin, who claimed his 475th wicket, also claimed the highest bowled dismissal in Tests for an Indian, going past Anil Kumble.
95- Ashwin
94 - Anil Kumble
88 - Kapil Dev
66 - Mohammed Shami
