1st Test: Ashwin-Jadeja Rearguard Act Helps India Reach 339/6 Against Bangladesh
MA Chidambaram Stadium: An unbeaten 195-run partnership between Ravichandran Ashwin, who hit his sixth Test century, and Ravindra Jadeja was the perfect rearguard act India needed to get out of trouble and reach 339/6 in 80 overs at stumps on day one of the series opener against Bangladesh at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Thursday.
In the mid of the second session, India were in a hole at 144/6, before Ashwin (102 not out) and Jadeja (86 not out) ensured India were not just out of trouble but also came out with an advantage and swing day one in their favour.
The fightback from the two veteran spin-bowling all-rounders meant India made 163 runs without losing a wicket in the final session. 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.
