1st time in over a century record for Ashwin
Ravichandran Ashwin earlier before the start of the test series had said he wants to have the record of six sixes in an over.
But in the pursuit he happens to set the world record, a record that hasn’t been touched in over a century.
Ashwin becomes the first ever cricketer in history to score 20+ fifty and 30+ five-wicket haul in the red ball cricket. Becomes the first in the 147-year history of test cricket.
During the first day of play, Ashwin and Jadeja played a saviour knock as they put up a partnership of 195 runs which put India on a steady position.
Bangladesh chose to bowl first and gained momentum as the Indian top order collapsed and India was left at 34/3, Jaiswal and Pant put together a 62-run partnership to give India a boost.
India were 144/6 when Ashwin and Jadeja put up a partnership that helped India to end their day at 339/6.
Now as day 2 awaits let’s see how our batters and bowlers go about the task in front of them.
