Ravichandran Ashwin, the legendary off-spinner of India never fails to impress as he struck once again on Day 4 and took a five wicket haul. He dismissed Shakib Al Hasan for 25. This was his 37th five wicket haul and this takes him on the second place with Shane Warne for the most fifers in the history of Test cricket.
He is now only behind Muttiah Muralitharan (67).
