India beat Sri Lanka by an innings and 222 runs in the first Test in Mohali. Match was significant for a number of reasons, including Virat Kohli’s 100th Test and Rohit Sharma’s first Test as full-time Test captain. Ravichandran Ashwin became second-highest wicket-taker for India in Test cricket. Only Anil Kumble has more dismissals to his name than the 35-year-old spinner.
Former Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Rashid Latif said that while Ashwin is ‘best’ in Indian conditions, India have produced better bowlers than him when it comes to bowling in away matches. Ashwin, no doubt, is a great bowler. He has brought variations to his bowling. No doubt he is the best spinner in India. However, in away conditions, I would not agree with his (Rohit’s) statement, Latif added.
