The means of this performance. In 271 international games, Ashwin has 709 wickets. The average of these wickets was 25.67, and his best bowling stats were 7/59. In international cricket, he has had 27 four-wicket hauls, 34 five-wicket hauls, and 8 ten-wicket hauls.

Anil Kumble, who has taken 953 wickets in 401 matches at an average of 30.06 and has the best figures of 10/74, is India's best bowler in international cricket. He's taken 39 four-wicket, 37 five-wicket, and 8 ten-wicket catches.

The third-best bowling numbers by an Indian in an away Test are Ashwin's 12/131. Bhagwath Chandrashekhar, who combined to take 12/104 in a Test match against Australia in Melbourne in 1977, had India's greatest overseas performance. Irfan Pathan, whose 12/126 at Harare in 2005 demolished Zimbabwe, comes next.

The spinner also had the third-best bowling line-up in the India-West Indies Test with 12/131. the finest effort by an Indian bowler against the Windie.
