In the second Test once morest Bangladesh, Ravichandra Ashwin, who led the team to victory along with Shreyas Iyer at the score of 74 for the loss of seven wickets, is now the star. The player, who knows how to shine as a bowler and a batter, saved the team shamelessly in the neighboring country while often being on the side bench.
India needed only 145 runs to win as they had the first innings lead. However, as the front line as a whole ‘relinquished the game’ and gave away the wicket, the only defeat was in front of the team. Mehdi Hasan Miraz was the off-spinner of Banglanira. Unwilling to lose, Ashwin smashed 42 runs and India celebrated the win and the series. Shreyas Iyer’s contribution was 29 runs. 71 runs were scored in the eighth wicket between the two.
Former national player Sehwag tweeted praising Ashwin immediately following the game. “The scientist has completed it. Somehow it got through. Great innings by Ashwin. A great collaboration with Shreyas Iyer” was the tweet. Along with this, he also shared a picture of the scientist conducting the experiment in the laboratory.
In India’s second innings, Shakib sent back KL Rahul while Pujara, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli were sent back by Mehdi. Again, Mahdi stormed and took five Indian wickets with 63 runs.
Ashwin was the man of the match who fought alone and won the match he was supposed to lose. Also the star of the Pujara series.
At the same time, Ashwin also took to Twitter to respond to the widespread complaint regarding him following the game. The long tweet called the accusation once morest him as ‘overthinking’.
