Ashwin-Jadeja counterattack helps India overcome shaky start to Day 1 against Bangladesh
Following the family emergency, Ashwin made a roaring comeback and capped off the Test series with a historic feat by registering the most number of five-wicket hauls for India in the history of Test cricket.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) late on Friday announced that Ashwin had withdrawn from the ongoing third Test with immediate effect due to a family medical emergency.
The loss was only England’s third in 11 fourth-innings chases since the start of the Bazball era, and even if the target was a monumental one, their second innings score of 292 all out was still higher than the previous successful chase by a visiting team in India - West Indies’ 276 for 5 in Delhi in 1987-88.
Seasoned off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin went on to the extent of terming him as a “left-handed MD Dhoni.”
A brilliant all-round effort by Ravichandran Ashwin (30 runs & 2-25) and a fine half-century by Jos Buttler (52) helped Rajasthan Royals prevail over Chennai Super Kings by three runs in a thrilling Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 encounter here in which M.S Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja waged a valiant battle that went in vain.
The visitors started well in the first half before the Indian bowlers struck twice. Ravichandran Ashwin got the first wicket while Shami scalped the second.
Senior pacer Mohammed Shami picked four wickets while the spin duo of off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja took three wickets each as India bowled out Australia for 263 on Day One of the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Friday.
India defeated Bangladesh by three wickets in a thrilling contest in the second test to seal the series 2-0 here at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka.
Bangladesh batter Mominul Haque broke his run of nine consecutive single-digit scores with a stroke-filled 65 not out. But India continued to strike, taking important scalps as Bangladesh reached 184/5 at tea on day one of the second Test at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Thursday.
