Ashwin reminds the world of his worth

If he takes 11 more wickets by the time Perth is done, he will be the joint-fastest to the 350 mark. Yet Ashwin's Test record bears a big asterisk, only because of perceptions around his work away from home

07-Dec-2018•Sidharth Monga in Adelaide

Why India's bowlers are a threat in Australia, for a change

They have poor numbers from previous tours, but they are now fitter and better, individually and collectively
