Indian spinners dominated the test match played between India and New Zealand at Wankhede ground. Ravindra Jadeja opened his claws and showed the way to the pavilion to five Kiwi batsmen, while Washington Sundar also managed to take four wickets. However, R Ashwin did not get a single wicket. This happened for the first time in Test cricket that even after the entire New Zealand team was out, Ashwin did not take a single wicket.
This happened for the first time with Ashwin
On the same Wankhede pitch, where the Kiwi batsmen were seen losing to the spinning balls of Jadeja and Sundar, R Ashwin could not take a single wicket despite bowling a spell of 14 overs. Spinners took 9 out of 10 wickets, but the magic of Ashwin's spin could not work. This is the first time in Test cricket that despite completing the entire innings for New Zealand, Ashwin has failed to take a single wicket. In the last Test against India, whenever the entire Kiwi team was out in an innings, Ashwin got wickets every time.
