Ashwin went on to pick two more wickets in the second innings, helping India to bundle the opponents for 200. “Ravichandran Ashwin seems to have the measure of Smith at the moment and backed up his performance in Adelaide with another lovely display of off-spin in Melbourne. It’s the best I have seen Ashwin bowl overseas, and that’s saying something given the peaks he has scaled,” Laxman wrote. Besides Ashwin, Laxman also highlighted the efforts put by youngsters Shumban Gill and Mohammed Siraj who made their Test debuts at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
