Can Ravichandran Ashwin do Ravi Mendis’ variation with a cricket ball?

Is Ashwin a limited-overs spinner?
That carrom ball, an arm ball just as good, his control over his offbreaks, and a sharp brain made Ashwin a quintessential limited-overs spinner, but in Test cricket he followed a brief period of struggle, against England in 2012-13, with a return to classical offspin basics and began using the variations sparingly.
