Had it not been for the administrative gaffe in the Caribbean last year, Ashwin might have broken Muttiah Muralitharan’s record for most ‘Player of the Series’ awards in Test cricket in Kanpur earlier this week.

The legendary cricketer equals Muttiah Muralitharan for THIS world record after his Player of the Series award in the now-concluded India Vs Bangladesh Test series.

Ace spinner Ravichandran Ashwin clinched his 11th Player of the Series award as India defeated Bangladesh 2-0 in the home Test series. With this, the veteran cricketer equalled the Sri Lankan legend Muttiah Muralitharan’s world record of most Player of the Series awards.

R Ashwin matched Muttiah Muralitharan's record of 11 Player of the Series awards. He could have surpassed Muralitharan if not for an administrative oversight, where the award was inexplicably not handed out.
