Talking about Ashwin, though he did not make it to the final Test match's playing XI, he did end up earning a nomination for the ICC Men's Test Cricketer Of The Year 2023. 'Ash' is nominated alongside the likes of Usman Khawaja, Travis Head and Joe Root.
Ashwin had a glorious 2023 wherein he scalped 41 wickets from seven Tests with majority of it coming in the Border-Gavaskar trophy wherein he claimed 35 scalps in four Tests.
