India vs Bangladesh 1st Test: The first Test between India and Bangladesh started today. Talking about the initial phase of the match, India’s great openers could not do anything amazing. Big players proved to be flops in Team India’s batting against Bangladesh, which increased the concerns of the fans. Ravichandran Ashwin may be known for his brilliant bowling, but when the team needs it, he does not miss making important contributions with the bat as well. In the Chennai Test, Ashwin once again demonstrated his batting skills. Coming in at number 8, he scored a brilliant century. This was his second Test century on his home ground. Earlier, he scored a century against England on 15 February 2021, and now after 1312 days, he has once again scored a century in Chennai.
A stellar TON when the going got tough!
A round of applause for Chennai’s very own – @ashwinravi99 👏👏

Ashwin became the troubleshooter for India
However, R Ashwin, who came to bat at number 7, dashed Bangladesh’s hopes by scoring a brilliant century. Ravindra Jadeja also batted brilliantly with him, after which the Bangladesh team was forced to struggle. Ashwin’s brilliant innings not only saved the Indian team but also put the visiting team in deep trouble. This is Ashwin’s sixth century in Test cricket, and the special thing is that he has always scored these centuries in difficult situations. This innings of Ashwin not only proved to be a troubleshooter for the team but he also showed that he is a reliable all-rounder, who can turn the match with the bat if needed.

When R Ashwin came to the crease, the condition of Team India was very bad. 6 batsmen had already returned to the pavilion, including Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and KL Rahul. It seemed that Team India would not be able to cross the 200-run mark. But Ashwin, who came to bat at number 8, made his intentions clear as soon as he came. He put pressure on the Bangladeshi bowlers by playing some aggressive shots. (India vs Bangladesh 1st Test)
Ashwin hit two brilliant fours as soon as he came, and it became clear that he was going to do something big in this difficult situation. He also proved it, completing his half-century in just 58 balls. But Ashwin did not stop here. He not only made a partnership of 150 runs with Ravindra Jadeja, but also completed his century in the next 50 balls. This brilliant innings of Ashwin took Team India out of a difficult situation and took them to a strong score.
Ashwin scored his sixth century in Test cricket
