The off-spinner, who was named Man-of-the-Match in the first Test at North Sound, Antigua, picked up his fifth wicket of the second Test on Day 1 after the Windies chose to bat.
His fifth scalp was host skipper Jason Holder, who was caught by Lokesh Rahul. He ended up with figures of 5/52 as India bowled out West Indies for 196.
This was also Ashwin's 12th wicket in the four-Test series after the Chennai-resident clinched seven wickets in Antigua - with all five coming in the second West Indies innings.
This was also Ashwin's fifth five-wicket haul against the West Indies.
His love affair with the West Indies cricket team continued after he scored his third Test century in the first Test which helped India set up a mammoth total of 566/8 declared in the first innings.
Significantly, all three of Ashwin's centuries in Tests have come against the Caribbean team - showing his love to bat against the Windies.
