Kohli: Ravichandran Ashwin is a modern-day legend

The Hindu  

India skipper Virat Kohli rued the lack of technical application from the batsmen after the host side thrashed England by 10 wickets in the third Test at Motera in a two-day affair. Speaking after what was the shortest completed Test match since 1935, Kohli said: "To be honest, I don't think the quality of batting was at all up to standard from both teams. Test cricket is all about it - this is a classic example of batsmen not applying themselves enough," Kohli said at the post-match press conference. Modern-day legend With the series level at 1-1 and a World Test Championship final spot at stake, Kohli relied on his spinners to get the job done on a deteriorating pitch.
