England vs India 2018, first Test: Hits and Misses

#1 Hit: Ashwin’s bowling

In this match, he completely showcased his unmatched skills as an off-spinner and his ability to pick wickets regularly

Everyone knows that Ashwin is a matchwinner in subcontinental pitches but his ability to win matches outside Asia has always been a huge question mark in his otherwise impeccable bowling record.

In this match, he completely showcased his unmatched skills as an off-spinner and his ability to pick wickets regularly. The highlight of his bowling in this match was his dismissals of Cook in both the innings.

In the first innings, he dismissed Cook with an absolute cracker that drifted in and landed in the leg stump and then turned magnificently to hit the top of off stump.

His second innings dismissal of Cook was even better with the ball drifting in a few more inches this time and then turned to completely bamboozle Cook’s off stump.
