ICC’s Cricketer of the Year, Ravichandran Ashwin, on Sunday transcended retired Indian spinner, Anil Kumble, to become the bowler to have bowled most balls in a Test cricket season. With 3,701 balls bowled in the 2016/17 season, Ashwin surpassed Kumble’s tally of 3,673 deliveries in the 2004/05 season. Interestingly, the top five bowlers with most balls bowled in a season are all Indian spinners.
