Big win for India at Kanpur as Ravichandran Ashwin has New Zealand batsmen dancing to his tune in the 1st Test of the series to go one up. Catches and bowlers win Test Matches and it was a personal milestone for Ashwin himself who completed 200 test wickets in 37 matches which is the second best in test history and also took 10 wickets in the game which was the icing on the cake.
India has a formidable batting line-up and are virtually unbeatable in home conditions. Our batting is rock solid and bowlers led by Ashwin can be deadly on turning tracks. Ashwin today is one of the best all-rounders in world cricket and has scored a ton and taken a five wicket haul in the same game on three occasions in the 37 Tests he has played for India. Great going by any standards and he would be the key player for India to win Test Matches in future too. Well played team India and we should white wash New Zealand 3-0 and win the ongoing series with ease!
