Ravichandran Ashwin
The player we usually see taking wickets for the opposition team, Ravichandran Ashwin, amazed everyone by scoring a brilliant century against Bangladesh. This is not the first time Ashwin has showcased his talent with the bat. It is, in fact, his 6 century in Test cricket. India struggled at 144 for six at one point, but Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja came together to rescue the team. Thanks to their partnership, India’s eyes are now set on crossing the 400-run mark.
Ashwin batted with an impressive strike rate and reached his century in 108 balls. After gaining his hundred, the stadium erupted in applause, with captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and everyone in the Indian camp cheering for him. Ravindra Jadeja, batting alongside Ashwin, couldn’t contain his happiness either. Ashwin removed his helmet and acknowledged the crowd after his remarkable century.
This was a crucial partnership for India, as they were in a difficult situation before Ashwin and Jadeja stepped up. Ashwin’s innings were about survival and putting pressure back on the Bangladesh bowlers. His confidence and ability to read the game helped India bounce back from a challenging position. Jadeja also supported him well, ensuring that the partnership kept growing.
With both players in form, India aims for a massive total, hoping to cross 400 runs. Ashwin’s contribution with the bat has once again shown that he is not just a bowler but a complete all-rounder who can deliver with both bat and ball.
