India’s quest for an ICC Trophy will begin on June 7 when they will square off against Australia in the final of the World Test Championship 2023. The Kennington Oval in London will play host to this exciting contest.
India defeated Australia in a Test series at home earlier this year and Ravichandran Ashwin was outstanding with the ball for them. He picked up 25 wickets in the series and is the lead spinner in the side.
Ahead of the WTC Final, have a look at the top three spells from Ravichandran Ashwin against Australia in Tests
#3 5/95 – 1st Test, Chennai (February 22 - 26, 2013)
In the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2013 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, Ravichandran Ashwin was brilliant with the ball. He picked up seven wickets in the first innings and followed it by picking up a fifer in the second innings. His spell of 5/95 helped them knock over Australia on 241 and they chased down 50 with eight wickets in hand. Ashwin finished with 12 wickets in the match.
#2 6/41 - 2nd Test, Bengaluru (March 4 - 7, 2017)
In 2017, Australia won the first Test comprehensively but the hosts bounced back to level the series. In the second Test held at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, Australia were set a target of 188. India managed to defend it, thanks to a bowling masterclass from Ravichandran Ashwin. He spun a web around the Aussies and picked up six wickets in just 12.4 overs to help his side knock over the visitors on 112 to win the game by 75 runs.
#1 7/103 – 1st Test, Chennai (February 22 - 26, 2013)
The Chennai Test in 2013 is remembered for MS Dhoni smashing 224 but Ravichandran Ashwin’s performance goes unnoticed. The wily off-spinner was sensational in the first innings as he picked up seven wickets, giving away 103 runs in 42 overs, which included 12 maidens. He also picked up a fifer in the second innings which helped India win the game comprehensively by eight wickets.
