R Ashwin has been India's go-to bowler in the ongoing India vs England Test series 2021. He picked up over 9 wickets in the first match but his efforts went in vain as the Indian team lost that match in Chennai by a heavy margin. England capitalized on skipper Joe Root's magnificent double hundred along with Ben Stokes' gritty 82 as the visitors recorded a massive 578 runs in the first innings. It was an uphill task from there on for the Indian team as they were bundled out for 337 and 192 in their two innings as the visitors went on to record a massive 227-run win.

However, India bounced back in tremendous fashion, banking on R Ashwin's exploits at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.  He played the second Test of India vs England Test series 2021 with great intent and banked on his all-round abilities to see the Indian team hold a commanding position since the first day of the match.
