Spinners mature a lot with age, maybe they're like Wine: India bowling coach Bharat Arun

Praising the effort from trio of Indian fast bowlers Ishant Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami Bharat Arun also said the fast bowlers are doing a great job and the consistent performance by them is very encouraging for the team

Indian star off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin played a crucial role by picking up six wickets to help his side win the first Test by 31-runs in Adelaide. Hailing Ashwin’s effort, India's bowling coach Bharat Arun on Wednesday said that the 32-year-old senior spinner bowled with a lot of maturity and is extremely confident and aware of what he is doing.

"Spinners mature a lot with age. May be they are like wine. Ashwin has been really good and in the last match he gave us the control, bowling close to 90 overs for 147 runs and six wickets. Can't ask for anything better. He allowed the fast bowlers to take turns and he controlled from one end. That was the job he was entrusted with and he did that exceptionally well," Bharat Arun said in the press conference held after the practice session in Perth.

"Ashwin is extremely confident and aware of what he is doing. It's important a spinner discovers what he can do. He did his job exceptionally well," Arun added.

Praising the effort from trio of Indian fast bowlers Ishant Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami Bharat Arun also said the fast bowlers are doing a great job and the consistent performance by them is very encouraging for the team.

"It's a great feeling from the Indian perspective that the fast bowlers are doing a great job. It's not just one or two, bunch of bowlers are doing well. I think it's the effort and the consistency with which they are able to perform over a period of time and that's very very encouraging.

"The game plan that we had, it was being consistent on the areas we bowl and I think that the execution was perfect. Can't ask for anything better. Consistency was a big issue earlier and the bowlers have worked really hard on that. This is one of the best fast bowling groups India has ever had," Arun added.
