5th Test: Pleased With How The Ball Came Out Today, Even Though I Went For A Few, Says Ashwin
Ravichandran Ashwin: Veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who claimed match figures of 9-128 in his 100th Test as India thrashed England by an innings and 64 runs at the HPCA Stadium to register a 4-1 series win, said he was pleased with how the ball came out of his hand despite going for a few runs.
Ashwin took 5-77 in second innings, his 36th five-wicket haul in the format, also the most fifers in this format for India and breaking Anil Kumble’s previous mark of 35, as England were bowled for 195. He now joins spin legends Muttiah Muralitharan, Shane Warne and Anil Kumble as the bowlers to bag a five-wicket haul in their 100th Test match.
"Very happy, can't really put a wrapper on how I'm feeling. Lot happened, lot of talk about the 100th Test. Overwhelmed, a lot of well-wishers have come forward. Win the Test and take wickets, what more can a bowler ask for? Tried different actions, speeds, releases through the series.”
