Have any allrounders taken more wickets and scored more hundreds than R Ashwin?
Also: What is the most deliveries a batter has consumed in the nineties before going on to make a hundred in a Test?

This is one of those questions that is difficult to answer definitively, because we lack ball-by-ball data for a lot of early matches - and the increased rates of scoring these days means, according to the Australian statistician Charles Davis, that records for slow scoring are more likely to be incomplete as they are more likely to involve the older matches for which we don't have full details.
You're right that R Ashwin finished his Test career with 537 wickets and six centuries (and a total of 3503 runs). Another Indian, Kapil Dev, finished with 434 wickets and eight hundreds in Tests, while Ian Botham ended up with 383 wickets and 14 centuries.
You're right that Yashasvi Jaiswal has converted all four of his Test centuries to date to 150s: he started with 171 on his debut, against West Indies in Dominica in 2023, and has added 209 against England in Visakhapatnam in 2024, an undefeated 214 in the next match in Rajkot, and 161 in the first Test of the current series against Australia in Perth.
If he makes his Test debut for Australia against India in Melbourne on Boxing Day, the precocious New South Wales batter Sam Konstas will be 19 years 85 days old. There have been only three younger Australian Test players: Ian Craig (17 in 1953), the current captain Pat Cummins (18 in 2011), and Tom Garrett (18 in the first Test of all, in 1877). But none of them opened the batting as teenagers: at the moment the youngest man to go in first for Australia remains Archie Jackson, against England in Adelaide in 1929 - and he marked his Test debut with a memorable 164. So if Konstas plays - and opens - in Melbourne, he will indeed be the youngest to do so for Australia.
Only three men have been out for 99 on their Test debut. The first was Arthur Chipperfield, for Australia against England at Trent Bridge in 1934, and he was followed by Robert Christiani of West Indies, also against England, in Bridgetown in 1948. The most recent case was by Asim Kamal, for Pakistan against South Africa in Lahore in 2003. Chipperfield and Christiani did later reach three figures in a Test, but the unfortunate Asim never did.
