Australian opener Usman Khawaja recently praised Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin for his strategic approach to the game. Ashwin, who is 37 years old, is known for always having a plan on the field, making him a formidable opponent. As the Border-Gavaskar Trophy approaches, starting on November 22 with the first Test in Perth, Ashwin’s impressive record against Australia becomes a key talking point. 

In 22 Test matches against Australia, he has taken 114 wickets at an economy rate of 2.70. Even on Australian soil, he has proven his prowess by claiming 39 wickets in 10 matches at an economy rate of 2.93. India has dominated this series in recent years, winning the last four consecutive series, including two victories in Australia. India has claimed the trophy 10 times, while Australia's last series win was in 2014-15.
