Meanwhile, Ashwin played an integral role in India’s dominant display in the Test series against South Africa. He ended up as the leading wicket-taker for the side where he grabbed 15 wickets in three matches. In the series against Bangladesh, he did not get many opportunities to bowl but he grabbed five wickets from two Tests at an impressive average of 20.80. The Tamil Nadu lad has been out of the limited-overs side for quite some time now and is eyeing a comeback into the side after his recent exploits in Tests.
