Stat: 23rd five wicket haul for R Ashwin in 45 home Tests - goes past James Anderson's 22 in 89 Tests. Only Muralitharan (45), Herath (26) and Kumble (25) has taken more five-fers at home.

R Ashwin becomes the first bowler to dismiss 200 left-handers in Test cricket.
His most frequent victims - all lefties.
10 David Warner
9 Alastair Cook/ Ben Stokes
7 Ed Cowan/ James Anderson

I remember Ashwin averaged something like 32 with the ball and 35 with the bat before 2013 home series against Aus. Who thought he would have these kind of bowling numbers in less than a decade!!!!!

 

29 5fers, 7 10fers, 7 MOTS, close to 5.5 wickets per test, closing in on 400 test wickets despite playing for most part in our greatest bowling unit.

Root will always be a headache but please let us not make Burns and Malan look like Cook and Sanga.
