Ashwin and Jadeja scripted Australia's collapse in the opening Test here as India took a 1-0 lead in the Border-Gavaskar series, defeating the visitors by an innings and 132 runs.
India skipper Rohit Sharma gave a huge compliment to India's spin-bowling pair of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, saying that leading them was similar to captaining Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc in Australia. Ashwin and Jadeja scripted Australia's collapse in the opening Test here as India took a 1-0 lead in the Border-Gavaskar series, defeating the visitors by an innings and 132 runs. Rohit also said that the Indian pair always aim to "reach the next level" while paying Tests.
"He (Ashwin) looks a different bowler. I wouldn't say an improved bowler as he was always a good bowler but he looks a different bowler every time he plays Test cricket. That's what good cricketers do. They try and up their game and try to reach the next level," said Rohit.
Ashwin, who reached a personal milestone of 450 wickets in Test cricket, also picked up his 31st five-for and a match haul of eight wickets.
