Ashwin-Jadeja: Worth weight in Gold
Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, the top two ICC-ranked Test all-rounders, did the unthinkable. They negotiated a tough phase before mauling down Bangladesh and pouncing on every loose delivery. Ashwin, in particular, looked to dominate from the onset. He played some delightful strokes, hammering the pacers and spinners equally. Jadeja, meanwhile, kept his wicket intact, going aerial once in a while. Ashwin broke several records with his stunning knock as well.
The two batted the entire third session to take India’s total from 144/6 to 339/6 by the end of play on Day 1. It has been a fabulous stand by the duo, mustering a 195-run partnership in just 230 balls. While Ashwin is unbeaten at 102, Jaddu (86) will eye to complete his ton tomorrow. The entire cricketing fraternity, including the ‘God’ Sachin Tendulkar, was in awe of the Ashwin-Jadeja duo. Let us see how the former cricketers and cricket experts reacted to Day 1’s play and lauded the Ashwin-Jadeja partnership.
