Ashwin returns home – spin bowling In the meantime, when the team was in crisis, they held the tail end together and carried out rescue operations with the bat. Centuries scored. Ashwin has often been described as an all-rounder, perhaps because of his bowling prowess and batting prowess. But Ashwin’s performance in the Chennai Test is the measure of any great all-rounder: 8 wickets in total, a century! Ashwin also bagged the Man of the Match award.
In the first Test in Chennai, Ashwin faced 137 balls in 2 innings. But he could not score even half a century. This time in the 2nd innings, Ashwin’s century was a concern as Kohli was out for a half – century. However, Ashwin, who guided Mohammad Siraj closely, finally scored the coveted 5th century. Siraj could not contain his joy when Ashwin was overjoyed. It was not just his love for his batting partner. It was also with a man named Ashwin. During the tour of Australia, the news of Siraj’s father’s death passed away. In the 2nd innings, the Chennai batsman defeated Rory Burns, Dan Lawrence and Ben Stokes to give India an easy victory.
“India dominated the confusion of the England batsmen rather than the spin-friendly pitch.”
