The experienced off-spinner took eight wickets in the match — three in the first innings and five in the second innings — and finished the series with 32 wickets under his belt.

He was only the third Indian — besides Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant — to score a century in the series. His all-round performance earned him his eighth Player of the Series award in Test cricket.
During the series, Ashwin became the fastest Indian — second fastest overall — to take 400 Test wickets, achieving the landmark in just 77 Test matches. Spin legend Muttiah Muralitharan had completed his 400 Test wickets in just 72 matches.
