1st Test: Ashwin-Jadeja Rearguard Act Leads India’s Magnificent Comeback At Chepauk (ld)
BCCI President Roger Binny: Veteran spin bowling all-rounders Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja were splendid in their rearguard act to rescue India from 144/6 through an unbroken 195-run seventh-wicket stand to reach 339/6 in 80 overs at stumps on day one of the series opener against Bangladesh at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Thursday.
Amongst the spin twins, local lad Ashwin was the more dominant and played exquisite shots to hit his sixth Test century and end the day at 102 not out, laced with ten fours and two sixes. Jadeja was the perfect partner in taking India out of choppy waters by being 86 not out, and hitting same number of boundaries as Ashwin did, as the duo ensured India came out with an advantage and swing day one in their favour.
Ashwin also notched up his second Test century at his home ground after the 2021 clash against England, which is also his fastest hundred in the longer format for India. Electing to bowl first on a spicy red-soil pitch and under overcast skies, Hasan Mahmud scythed through the top-order with some appreciable movement.
