Ashwin takes 4 as India leave SA on mat despite Maharaj's 72
Pune, Oct 12 Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin picked up four wickets to pour cold water on Keshav Maharaj's career-best 72 as South Africa were bowled out for 275, still 326 runs behind, on Day 3 of the ongoing second Test here on Saturday.
Ashwin picked up the wicket of left-arm spinner Maharaj, who batted brilliantly and joined hands with Vernon Philander (42 not out) for a gritty 109-run stand. Maharaj took 132 balls and hit 12 fours in his innings as Philander played second fiddle, finding the fence six times in the 192 balls he faced.
