India's home season 2016-17: All the numbers you need to know

Most wickets

Ravi Ashwin went off the boil a little towards the end of the season, but he had done most of his damage early on. It was a record-breaking year for him. Perhaps most impressively, he usurped Dale Steyn’s record for most wickets in a single season. Jadeja took 71 wickets on his way to becoming the world’s No. 1 ranked bowler while the seamers chipped in with their contributions.
