The
2023
season
was
dominated
by
bowling
especially
spinners
with
only
a
few
batters
managing
to
get
runs
under
their
belt
as
the
bowlers
had
the
last
laugh
in
three
of
the
four
Tests.

Ravichandran
Ashwin,
Ravindra
Jadeja,

Nathan
Lyon,
Matthew
Kuhnemann
and
Todd
Murphy
had
a
big
say
with
their
deliveries
on
testing
tracks
for
batters
in
the
first
three
Tests.

Rohit
Sharma,
Virat
Kohli,
Shubman
Gill,
Cameron
Green
and
Usman
Khawaja
scored
hundreds
during
the
series
as
most
batters,
including
Steve
Smith,
failed
to
handle
spin.
