The Ravichandran Ashwin-Jonny Bairstow duo's feat also marks only the second time in Test cricket history that players from opposing teams will be playing their 100th Test in the same game. Following the India-England match, New Zealand's captain Tim Southee and his predecessor Kane Williamson are set to achieve this milestone together during the 2nd Test against Australia. Ashwin, who recently joined the elite 500-wicket club in Test cricket, following the footsteps of Anil Kumble, made his Test debut in 2011.
