Ashwin claimed his 499th wicket as England were dismissed for 292 in the fourth innings of the second Test.
Ravichandran Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah claimed three wickets apiece to bowl India to a 106-run victory in the second Test against England and level the five-match series 1-1.
Chasing a victory target of 399 on Monday, England were 95-1 before losing five wickets in the morning session as opener Zak Crawley struck 73, with Ben Foakes (36) and Tom Hartley (36) producing defiant knocks down the order.
England were eventually dismissed for 292 in the second session on day four.
“We know winning a Test match in these conditions was not going to be easy, but the bowlers stepped up,” India captain Rohit Sharma said after the match.
“The wicket was good to bat on, a lot of the batters got starts but didn’t convert. This win gives us a lot of confidence. Very proud of such a young squad.”
