Ravichandran Ashwin wreaked havoc against West Indies

Talking of Ashwin’s recent performances, the 36-year-old breathed fire against the West Indies. Ashwin’s performance was crucial for India in winning the first Test of the series. Taking a fifer in the first innings, the 36-year-old followed it up by bowling a brilliant spell in the second innings. Ashwin bowled 21.3 overs in the second innings and took seven wickets to secure the win for the visitors. Furthermore, Ashwin took three wickets across the two innings in the second Test. However, as rain played spoilsport, the second Test was drawn and the Indian team had to contend with a 1-0 win.
