As expected, Indian spinners dominated Day 3 of the ongoing Test between India and New Zealand. India earned a 197-run victory over New Zealand in the first Test match of the three test match series and made sweeter as it came in India’s 500th Test match.

New Zealand all-rounder Mitchell Santner batted brilliantly and scored 71 runs. But Ashwin stunned him and Santner has nothing to do but smile for the magic delivery. The batsman cannot believe it, and looks dumbfounded for a minute, before beginning the slow walk back to the pavilion as Ashwin grabs his fourth wicket.

Ravi Ashwin strikes in the 80th over and delivers with a near unplayable delivery, one that pitches outside leg and goes through a massive change in angle. Santner, surprised by the turn and bounce, ends up edging it feebly to Rohit Sharma at gully.
