But Pujara didn't believe Ashwin had an off day. "I don't think he (Ashwin) had a bad day. He didn't get too many wickets but he still kept on bowling in the right areas," Pujara said.
"Sometimes as a bowler you do have such days when you're bowling well but you might not end up picking too many wickets. So someone like him ... I think he is a clever bowler and he has done really well for us throughout the domestic season and even overseas, so I don't think he has bowled badly at all.
"The pitch has slowed down a lot and that might be the reason some of his balls didn't go through as much as he might have wanted."
He's not going to slag off his teammate to the press.The sheer stubbornness and refusal to accept criticism is always going to impede this side's progress.
