Continuing from where he left in the first innings, Jadeja, who took a fifer on day 1, once again tormented the Kiwi batters on a crumbling surface which according to his long-time spin twin Ashwin was slower than expected.
In seven innings at this venue in Tests, Ashwin now has two hundreds and another fifty-plus score.
Recalling his interaction with Gambhir during his first full Test series for India in 2012, Ashwin revealed that the opening batter was one of the very few from outside his home state of Tamil Nadu to give him a lot of confidence as a new-comer.
As part of the deal, the 37-year-old Ashwin is all set to take charge of the Chennai Super Kings High Performance Centre, coming up Navalur, in the outskirts of Chennai, and expected to be fully operational ahead of the start of IPL 2025 season.
The 37-year-old also revealed that he was not able to complete his action the way he wanted to because of an abdominal injury in the first half of IPL 2024.
Hogg, in fact, called for similar pitches during IPL.
Ashwin will be back in action playing for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2020.
Williamson, who plays for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and has also led the franchise in the past stated that he always kept an open mind while playing the IPL.
Chappell also feels that India should have Hardik Pandya in the Test side when they travel to Australia later this year.
Kohli said it was one of a string of innings he had at the time which gave him the confidence of doing well against any bowling attack in the world.
