This guy keeps silently breaking records.

[Laaloo]

And he is injured too

[sscomp32]

And he has been off colour in 5 out of 6 innings this series . He could have even touched 100 wickets this season if his form continued.

Even when he is not at his best in this series he has still bowled decently. Hope Ashwin takes a break and comes back stronger.

3 Indians in top 5

Both the spinners have leveraged this extended home season ,kudos

And people go on criticizing him. As if they don't have any bad days in their profession.

and some plonkers still want him dropped lol

It would have been awesome if he hadn't lost his form and didn't have his injury.

 

Performances starting from Chennai 2016 has taken a lot of sheen of his achievement which is a bit disappointing.

 

Till that time, this was his performance in the home season:

 

 

This is real Ashwin.

 

And even that version wasn't operating at his 100%.

 

The heartening thing to see is that Jaddu has stepped up big time from then on. These days he seems to bowl well regardless of pitch.
