Four spinners, two sets each, different styles of bowling. Ravichandran Ashwin, Indian cricketer, pair with Australian Player Nathan Lyon. The duo is tall, classical and spin in an old-school style. Meanwhile, another duo of Ravindra Jadeja along with Steeve O'Keefe is a bit shorter, quicker and modern-day lefty tweakers.
The styles were all similar on the pitch of India vs Australia played in Pune a little while back. Talking about the players, a pair collected wickets in heap without spinning the ball much, as long as the other two of them ripped the ball a mile without the returns of as many wickets.
Aussie pair of Lyon and O'Keefe together claimed 17 wickets of 20 Indian players and got the win in their hand's against India by 333 runs in the four-day Test match. Divergent to this, Jadeja and Ashwin took only 12 of the 20 Aussie batsmen.
Virat Kohli, the captain of Indian cricket team, commented on the same. He said, "I think our bowlers were spinning the ball too much, so we didn't get the edge. I can't understand how I can judge that because the ball that spun less took wickets, and the ones that did, didn't get any wickets. Cricket is like that."
"I think both and Nathan and Steve bowled a really good length, and just hit that length consistently," Steve Smith, captain of Australian cricket team, said.
