@subshakerz, you are making a valid point with regards to Kumble though.

Kumble played 69 tests away from home and 63 at home.

Ashwin played only 41 tests away from home and 65 at home.

That’s why Ashwin averages so much better(23.9) in Tests. He would have averaged 27 over his career if he had a spin partner like Harbhajan instead of Jadeja so Bhajji wasn’t getting picked ahead of Ash overseas.

Jadeja has a similar advantage of home away split.

We'll just ignore that playing more Tests can also help you develop further I guess.

Certainly not the case with Jadeja bowling in England.

Anyways it's undeniable that a higher percentage of home games and a better spin partner helps Ashwins average.
