As India prepare to take on England in a 5-match Test series at home, the hosts' premier spinner Ravichandran Ashwin is eyeing a massive feat. 

Ashwin is just 12 wickets from becoming the first Indian bowler to take 100 wickets against England in Tests.

The spin maestro is considered one of the best bowlers to grace cricket and is also a mere 10 wickets from achieving the career milestone of 500 Test wickets. 

Currently, India's BS Chandrashekhar has 95 wickets from 23 games against the English. 

England's James Anderson tops the list consisting of bowlers from both countries having scalped 139 wickets across 35 games. 

Six Indians separate Anderson from the next Englishman on the list. His longtime new-ball partner Stuart Broad, who recently retired from international cricket, has 74 scalps from 24 games.
