All-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin was in "unbelievable pain" on Sunday night and "could not stand up straight" when he woke up on Monday morning on the final day of the third Test against Australia, his wife Prithi has said.

Despite that, Ashwin, along with Hanuma Vihari (23* off 161 balls), showed great grit and resilience to help India secure a famous draw at the Sydney Cricket Ground and set up a compelling finale to the ongoing four-match series later this week.
