AHMEDABAD: With another five-for in the series (6-91), Ravichandran Ashwin<\/a> has emerged as the top wicket-taker in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The wily off spinner took his series tally to 24 on Day 2 of the fourth and final Test.
LIVE UPDATES: DAY 3<\/a>
It was a special performance for Ashwin as it came on a docile pitch. He had picked the wicket of opener Travis Head on Day One and picked the other scalps after conceding just 34 runs on Friday.
The 36-year-old played down his feat after the day\u2019s play. <\/p>\n

\u201cNo one spell is better than the other and I felt at various stages in this particular series, be it in Delhi, the numbers
probably don\u2019t give you a five or six, but the ball is coming out beautifully in the whole series and whatever changes I have put in \u2014 loading, cocking my wrists, all those things have proved that my spells have been a lot more penetrative. However, the small changes that I have made have ensured that I have got enough purchase off the pitches, and it\u2019s done more in the air than what it did in Bangladesh,\u201d he said.
Being the second-highest wicket-taker for India (472 Test wickets), Ashwin said that his game is not only about numbers. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou can go to bed feeling a lot better instead of having just three wickets in your kitty. It does feel good as you end up with a good bag of wickets, even if you don\u2019t bowl sometimes, you feel good about it. I will go to bed tonight a bit early and a bit happier,\u201d he said.
On the state of the Test, Ashwin said that India\u2019s fate depends on how the batters bat on Day 3. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a game of second innings, but we have to bat well and probably see some of our top-order batters get a big score and have some chai and come out batting day after tomorrow. I will be cheering our batters from the bottom of my heart after a day like this as a bowler,\u201d he said.
Ashwin was effusive in his praise of Australian allrounder Cameron Green, who scored his maiden hundred on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope you tuned into the IPL auction. It just tells you how the Indian cricketing fraternity rates Cameron. These are once-in-a-generation cricketers that you\u2019re talking about,\u201d the off-spinner said.
\u201cIndia is very different. We can\u2019t protect such players for a longer period, (it\u2019s) perform-or-perish. In countries like Australia and England, I think these sorts of cricketers are groomed well and I expect Cameron Green to be a wonderful cricketer down the line,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
