Ravichandran Ashwin

A number of Sri Lankan batters made starts but could not make it count, once again surrendering meekly to India, who have won 14 consecutive test series at home.

While Ashwin achieved the feat in his 85th match, Kapil Dev had managed it in 131 matches. He is now only behind legendary spinner Anil Kumble -- who has 619 Test wickets to his name.

You can like him or hate him, but you can't ignore him. Ashwin is known for finding himself in the middle of controversies.

Virat Kohli has made it clear in the past that his job as captain is to win matches, not popularity contests. While constructive criticism is okay, it is unfair to vilify him for speaking his mind.

Eoin Morgan wasn't happy that Ashwin tried to steal a run after a throw ricocheted off Pant's body.

What could M.S. Dhoni bring to the dressing room in his new role as a mentor? Breaking down a task into small parts, for one.

Among the key players include 34-year-old senior off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who has been included in the squad who last played white-ball cricket for India in 2017.

Ashwin's exclusion from the team continues to draw flak for Kohli

Kohli said barring injuries in the playing XI, he always preferred retaining a winning team.

Despite his record, Ashwin did not feature in the playing eleven in India's first test against England at Nottingham.

The BCCI will recommend the names of senior batsman Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul, and pacer Jasprit Bumrah for the Arjuna Award.

Play cards, sleep, eat soup, even study: When the field is wet, cricketers turn to different activities. The phone, however, can’t be used due to rules to prevent fixing.

Amidst disappointment over Indian cricket’s blase response to the pandemic, R Ashwin, not for the first time, is showing some personality, like Colin Kaepernick in the NFL.

Despite having a good record in white ball cricket, Ashwin has not been part of Kohli's plans. How does he fare against some of his counterparts who currently pay for India?

IPL 2021: The 34-year-old is competing for the Delhi Capitals this season and hopes to return to the side "if things go in the right direction".

Ashwin, who shun for India with both bat and the ball in the home-series win against England, emerged as the "unanimous choice" of the ICC Voting Academy.

India's 13th consecutive test series victory at home also secured their place in the June final of the World Test Championship against New Zealand.

England's Jofra Archer became Ashwin's 400th victim in Test cricket.

The 34-year-old off-spinner spoke of feeling “hurt for life” by constant comparisons with Nathan Lyon and Moeen Ali. His all-round performance in the Chennai Test could heal his wound.

Ashwin, perhaps, just wanted to tell the world what the fuss is all about the pitch? If he can score a ton with the help of tail-enders, English batsmen can certainly do better who are 1-0 up in this series.
