- R. Ashwin – 3.5/5:
There are seldom any instances when a Test match goes in which you don’t often see R. Ashwin’s brilliance. Like any other Test in recent times, this one too was a host to the all round skills of Ashwin, as the Tamil Nadu off-spinner began with a breezy knock of 47 in the first innings. Despite struggling for wickets in the first innings, Ashwin was on the money the next time around, picking up three wickets.
