# Ashwin has an excellent bowling record against Australia, capturing 27 wickets at an average of 32.11.

# Ashwin's home record in Tests is quite impressive, having scalped 72 wickets at 24.70 runs apiece in only eleven Tests. His overall aggregate of 81 wickets (ave.28.93) is the most by an Indian bowler after 14 Tests. Just two bowlers have claimed more wickets after 14 Tests than Ashwin -- England's Tom Richardson (88) and Australia's C.T.B. Turner (83).

# India's convincing win by an innings and 135 runs is their second biggest over Australia in Tests, next only to the win by an innings and 219 runs at EdenGardens, Kolkata in 1997-98. This victory is India's sixth biggest in Tests.
