No. 3: Ravichandran Ashwin’s 4 for 8 against Sri Lanka at Vishakhapatnam:
In a three-match Twenty20 series that was tied at 1-1, India’s most valued player across all formats Ravichandran Ashwin came to the party for the national side as he ripped apart the top-order to see the Lankan tigers bundle out for just 82 runs at Vizag.
It was a sensational combination of great bowling with subtle variations to play some tricks with Sri Lankan batsman who are considered to be good players of spin blowing.
On February 14, 2016, Ashwin picked four wickets for just eight runs at an economy of just 2.
The 30-year-old spin sensation not only got the Man of the Match award, but was also named the Man of the Series for his brilliant bowling in the series.
