#3 Ashwin - Jadeja roar back to form

Wicketless in the Kolkata Test, the spin twins, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja roared back to form, befuddling the Lankan batsmen with turn, dip and flight. Wonderful variations in flight and pace on the ball was a trademark of Ashwin-Jadeja's heist at Nagpur. If it was Ashwin plotting the downfall of the top order in the first innings, it was Jadeja to the fore in the second.
He removed the solid Karunaratne early on day 4 and proceeded to dominate Angelo Mathews, something which he has regularly done in this series. The former skipper fed a catch to mid-off and Jadeja had his second of the innings. Ashwin then stepped in and cleaned up the lower middle-order to pick up three.
