First we will tell you what Ashwin said and after that also how he has pushed Pakistan’s Kamran Akmal behind with this one century.
Ashwin last scored a Test century under the coaching of Ravi Shastri
Ravi Ashwin said that playing in front of the home crowd is always a special feeling. This is a ground in which he himself likes to play cricket, because this ground has given him many great memories. The interesting thing was that Ravi Shastri, who has been the coach of the Indian team, was talking to Ashwin about these things. Ashwin smiled and said that you were the coach the last time I scored a century. Revealing the secret of his century, he said that he has recently returned after the TNPL T20 tournament. During this time he worked a lot on his batting. Ashwin said that if you are going after the ball, then you can go very hard like Rishabh. This is the old pitch of Chennai, which has a little bounce and carry.
Ravindra Jadeja helped Ashwin a lot
Red soil pitch has been used in this match being played between India and Bangladesh. Ashwin said that the red soil pitch allows you to play some shots. Ashwin, who made a historic partnership for India along with Ravindra Jadeja, said that Jadeja was very helpful. There was a time when he was sweating a lot and was a little tired. Jadeja noticed this and helped him. Praising Jadeja, Ashwin said that Jadeja has been one of the best batsmen of Team India in the last few years. He is a very good player.
Ashwin also revealed the secret about the pitch
It is just the first day of the match. But hardly anyone knows more about the pitch here than Ashwin. In such a situation, when he was asked about the pitch on the second day, he told that this is an old-fashioned Chennai pitch, where overspin will give some bounce. The wicket will start showing its effect much later. There is a lot of help for the fast bowlers in this. If the fast bowlers of the Indian team present the seam well and hard. The new ball will provide some help. There is some moisture in the pitch, it is still damp from below, so it is expected that as it dries, it will move fast.
Ashwin left Kamran Akmal and Jason Holder behind
Meanwhile, also know why this century of Ravichandran Ashwin is historic. The special thing is that MS Dhoni has also scored a total of 6 centuries in Test cricket, now Ravi Ashwin has also reached the same level. Ravichandran has now reached the second position in the list of batsmen who come to bat at number eight and after that in Tests. In this case, New Zealand’s former captain Daniel Vettori is at the first position. He has scored a total of 5 centuries coming at number eight or after that, while Ashwin has now reached the second position. Pakistan’s Kamran Akmal has done this work thrice, while West Indies’ Jason Holder has also done this feat thrice. Now by scoring one more century, Ashwin is in a position to reach the joint first position. However, for the time being it has to be seen how many more runs Ashwin, who is currently playing unbeaten on 102 runs, manages to add in this match.
