Ravichandran Ashwin was the pick among the Indian bowlers as he picked five wickets for 69, while the world No.1 bowler, Ravinder Jadeja scalped two wickets for 84.

Ashwin added another feather to his hat as he overtook Harbhajan Singh for the most five-for’s to take second spot. He trails Anil Kumble, who has 35 five-for’s in 132 Test matches
