5 factors behind India's 17-match unbeaten streak

#2 Ashwin’s resurgence and Jadeja’s accuracy

Ashwin has been a vital component in Indian’s recent success

India’s fabulous streak owes a lot to the resurgence in form of Ashwin who remodelled his action, fixed some chinks in his bowling, worked with his coaches and came back sharper and more consistent and skilful. In Jadeja, he found a trusted aide who can bottle it up from one end.

Jadeja and Ashwin are second and third in terms of lowest bowling averages in the last 24 months, amongst bowlers with more than 30 wickets. Since 20^th August 2015, Ashwin has picked up 114 wickets at 19.39, with 13 5-wicket hauls, 33 clear of the next highest wicket-taker, Rangana Herath. Jadeja is third with 59 wickets at an average of 21.22. The spin-twins have picked enough wickets between them to help India not lose matches for more than a year.
