India vs England 2016: 4th Test - 5 talking points

India wrapped up the series with a victory in the 3rd Test

#1 Ashwin continues to excel

Ashwin wrapped up the tail pretty quickly on Day 5

Ashwin continues to reap benefits at home, recording yet another 10-wicket haul in Tests, with 12 in this game. He picked up 6 apiece in both innings as the England batsmen failed to counter his numerous variations.

He was patient and pounced on any weakness of the opposition, out thinking them with his skills and field placements. He was virtually the skipper when bowling with Kohli giving him complete control of the field and Ashwin using it to plot the batsman's downfall.

His first innings dismissal of Root and the thinking behind it is a lesson for any young spinner, let alone off-spinner. The Tamil Nadu spinner has been unstoppable at home and has exploited any turn on offer to his advantage. These were the best figures by a spinner at the Wankhede.
