A wonderful 45-ball 66 by Ravindra Jadeja made India tie the third one-day international against New Zealand at Eden Park in Auckland .
Ashwin hit a 46-ball 65 before Martin Guptill's brilliant presence of mind resulted in his dismissal.
Ashwin hit a Nathan McCullum delivery to deep mid-wicket where Guptill took the catch but just when his momentum was about to take him over the boundary, he tossed the ball back in, took a step over the boundary and then came back in to complete the catch.
Ashwin's knock was studded with a six and eight fours.
