India Vs Bangladesh 1st Test Match, Ravichandran Ashwin: In the first Test match against Bangladesh, Indian cricket team's all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin performed brilliantly and scored the sixth century of his career. At the end of the first day's play, he was unbeaten on 102 runs off 112 balls with the help of 10 fours and 2 sixes at a strike rate of 91.07.
Ashwin said, 'The pitch of Chidambaram Stadium is like an old-time surface. Ravindra Jadeja helped me a lot when we were batting together. It is better to play like Rishabh on such a pitch, it is an old Chennai-style pitch, which has bounce.' It feels good to play when there is bounce on the pitch, I enjoyed that kind of pitch today. 'Jadeja really helped me, there was a time when I was working so hard that I was tired, but during this time Jadeja helped me a lot.'
Talking about his performance in the recently played Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL), Ashwin said, 'I have worked on my batting. I got the benefit of playing in the T20 tournament, playing at home is always a big deal, I like playing on this ground, I have many good memories associated with this ground.' This was Ashwin's second century on this ground.
