New York: When Ravichandran Ashwin and Jadeja took the field in Chennai, the bowlers Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Shubman Gill horribly failed on, leaving a lasting impression. For a very long time, the Bangladeshi squad and supporters in particular will recall the poor state of its bowlers. Bangladesh has once grabbed six Indian wickets for 144 runs. At that point, it appeared unlikely that India would score even 200 runs. However, an all-around partnership of 195 runs between all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja altered the entire situation. India was leading the match at the end of the day with 339 runs for 6 wickets.
India lost 3 wickets for 34 runs
The two-match Test series between India and Bangladesh started on Thursday. Bangladesh captain Nazmul Hasan Shanto won the toss and decided to field first. His decision paid off in the beginning and Bangladeshi bowlers took three wickets of India within 34 runs. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were out after scoring 6 runs each while Shubman Gill could not even open his account. All these three wickets were taken by Hasan Mahmud.
Double blow at 144 runs
Together with Rishabh Pant (39), Yashasvi Jaiswal (56), led India to 96 runs. At this point, Pant too succumbed to Hasan Mahmood. Following this, KL Rahul (16) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (16) led India to 144 points. At this point, India was dealt a double blow as Rahul and Jaiswal were both out. The result was that India’s score quickly went from 144 runs for 4 wickets to 144 runs for 6 wickets.
Ashwin and Jadeja turned the tables
It looked as though India’s innings may end shortly after losing six wickets for 144 runs. India’s all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin both performed admirably at this crucial juncture. India achieved a formidable score of 339/6 thanks to their combined 195-run partnership. With a perfect innings of 102 runs, Ashwin was the most valuable member of this combination. Even after amassing 86 runs, Jadeja is undefeated.
Ashwin’s sixth century
Ravichandran Ashwin completed his century by taking a run off Shakib Al Hasan’s ball. He scored this century in 108 balls. This is the sixth century of his Test career. Jadeja scored the 21st fifty of his career. He is unbeaten after scoring 86 runs in 117 balls. Jadeja will have a chance to complete his century on Friday. He has scored 4 centuries in Test matches so far.
