One of the best spinners to wear the Indian colours, Ashwin displayed a top-notch performance against Australia in ICC World T20, 2014 at Dhaka. India put a competitive target of 160. Australian team consisted of some of the most dangerous batsmen and India needed a win to carry their campaign ahead. The then-skipper MS Dhoni called Ashwin to scalp the top-order of the opposition.

Ashwin cleaned up the lethal opening-duo of Aaron Finch and David Warner. Australian batsmen continued to struggle against him as he put on a clinic of spin bowling. He utilized every variation in his arsenal like carrom-ball and slower deliveries. In the 10th over, he scalped the dangerous Glenn Maxwell and later, sent James Muirhead packing to help India win by 73 runs.
