As long as Root is scoring runs, it doesn't matter how many times Ashwin dismisses him.
Ashwin and other Indian bowlers can be deemed successful against him only if they get him out cheaply, and 53 is not a big score but it is not a cheap score either.
So far Ashwin has not been able to nullify him and if Root scores another hundred in this series, or 3-4 fifties, one can safely say that he got the better of Ashwin even if he gets out to him in every innings.
7 innings left in this series. Let's see how many 50+ scores he can get, which will determine if Root won the battle or Ashwin.
So far, Root is ahead because he has a hundred and a fifty in three innings.
