India’s Ravichandran Ashwin continued to taste success against Australia as he grabbed his 100th wicket in Tests in the second game of the four-match series for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at the Arun Jaitley Stadium here on Friday.

Ashwin, who hastened Australia’s doom in the second innings of the series opener at Nagpur with a five-wicket second innings haul that powered the hosts to a comprehensive innings victory, sent back right handers Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith in the space of three balls in the same over before lunch on Day 1 of the contest. He added the scalp of the left-handed wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey in the second period of play to reach the coveted mark of 100 Test wickets against one of India’s fiercest opponents on the cricket field.
