Ravichandran Ashwin wrecked havoc on the West Indies. His 7-wicket haul in the second innings gave India an innings and 92 run victory over the hosts. After Virat Kohli’s double hundred it was the turn of Ashwin to turn the hero for India. After scoring a century in India’s first innings, the India all rounder took 7 wickets for 83 runs.

Ashwin is the third player to score a ton and take a 7-wicket haul in the same Test. With this, Ashwin emulated England’s former all rounder Ian Botham, who had also scored a ton and taken a 5-wicket haul in same Test twice. Ashwin’s bowling figure of 7/83 in the second innings is the best by Indian bowler in West Indies. Ashwin’s 17 five-wicket hauls in 33 Tests so far Most by a spinner.  Ashwin won his 5th Man of the Match Award in Tests. India’s innings-and-92-run win against WI, is the biggest Test victory outside Asia.
