Ravichandran Ashwin became the first Indian to take the wickets of a father-son duo in Test cricket.

Ashwin achieved the feat by dismissing Tagenarine Chanderpaul in the ongoing Test. He had also dismissed Tagenarine's father, West Indies legend Shivnarine Chanderpaul back in 2011.

In addition, the Indian veteran also completed 700 international wickets during the course of his 5-wicket haul. Only Anil Kumble & Harbhajan Singh have taken more wickets for India, and even Harbhajan's tally is within touching distance for the off-spinner.
