AB de Villiers hailed Virat Kohli's leadership after India made a remarkable comeback to beat England 3-1 in the four-Test series on Saturday.
Ashwin has now won eight Man-of-the-Series awards in his 10-year career and is only eight wickets short of equalling Harbhajan Singh's 417 Test wickets.
Playing his first Test series, Patel captured 27 wickets at a stunning average of 10.59 in the four-match Test series.
Rishabh Pant, Washington Sundar and Axar Patel took the game away from England with their fearless approach.
Pant's 101 off 118 balls, during which he smoothly shifted gears to unsettle the English bowlers, had everyone, from his own skipper Virat Kohli to rival captain Joe Root, praising him to the sky.
The pitch for the third Test came in for sharp criticism from a few former England players after the visitors were bowled out for 112 and 81 in the day/night match.
India, with the 3-1 series win, now have 122 rating points having amassed 4505 points from 37 matches in the designated period.
Virat Kohli recorded his 36th win as the captain of the Indian Test team, going level with West Indies great Clive Lloyd.
Kohli also said that Rohit Sharma's ton in Chennai was a defining one and hailed Ashwin as India's 'most bankable player' over the years.
Axar and Ashwin then hounded the visitors with the left-arm picking his fourth fi-fer in the series and the latter re-entering record books as India finished the fourth Test in the final hour of day 3.
Pant, who has often been criticised for his mode of dismissals, scored a fabulous hundred to put India in the driver's seat.
With the comprehensive victory, India sealed their spot in the World Test Championship (WTC) final against New Zealand.
Rishabh Pant continued his impressive performance behind the stumps as his quick stumping dismissed Ollie Pope on 15.
Ravichandran Ashwin took two wickets in as many balls in his very first over of the innings, removing Zak Crawley and Jonny Bairstow.
Rishabh Pant changed his game-plan and in turn India's fortunes with a magnificent century, helping the side snatch control from England's grip to finish the second day at a robust 294 for 7 in the final Test.
Sundar stuck in the middle with Axar Patel as the two all-rounders stitched a century partnership to heap misery on England bowlers.
