The left spinner has taken 12 wickets till now and he is the only wicket-taker for New Zealand till now. Earlier, India bowled out Blackcaps for 62 runs in the first innings that is also the lowest team total by a team on Indian soil. Ravichandran Ashwin was the pick of the bowlers for India in the first innings with his figures of 4/8 while Mohammed Siraj picked up three wickets.
