Ravichandran Ashwin‘s exceptional performance in India‘s resounding victory over Bangladesh in the first Test match at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium left a lasting impression. The off-spinner’s brilliance with both bat and ball was instrumental in India’s 280-run triumph.

Ravichandran Ashwin’s all-round excellence

In India’s first innings, with the team struggling at 144/6, Ashwin stepped up to deliver a magnificent century. His 113-run knock, forged in a 199-run partnership with Ravindra Jadeja, helped India reach a respectable total of 376. Ashwin’s innings showcased his versatility and ability to contribute significantly in all conditions.

While Ashwin failed to pick up a wicket in Bangladesh’s first innings, he returned to torment the visitors in their second dig. His exceptional bowling performance, which yielded figures of 6/88 in 21 overs, helped India bowl out Bangladesh for 234. This was Ashwin’s 37th five-wicket haul in Test cricket, equalling the record held by the legendary Shane Warne.

Ashwin’s heartwarming family time interaction

Despite his match-winning heroics, Ashwin revealed that he faced some complaints from his wife Prithi Narayanan and their two daughters. In a heartwarming video shared by the BCCI on social media, Prithi interviewed Ashwin after India’s victory.

During the conversation, Ashwin jokingly mentioned that Prithi and his daughters were upset with him for not coming to meet them on Da??y 1 of the Test match and waving at them.

“She kept complaining that I didn’t see her on the first day. I didn’t. For me, it’s very difficult for me to look out for the family when I am playing. In the middle of the game, but I do make a conscious effort because the children are always asking me, ‘Why didn’t you say hi’,” Ashwin said playfully.

Ashwin? explained that it was difficult for him to focus on family du?ring the intense moments of a match.

“I would like to defend myself here. I don’t always say hi. When you sit in the seat for 9 to 5 and all I see is Raj waving back at me like I have made up the two days,” he added.

Ashwin’s special connection with Chepauk

Ashwin also expressed his love for the MA Chidambaram Stadium, often referred to as Chepauk. He described the venue as a special place that brings out the best in him. The off-spinner’s success at the venue has been consistent over the years, and he has often delivered match-winning performances.

“I don’t know how to react because the first day was something that happened really quickly. I didn’t expect to walk in to bat here and get a hundred. I hadn’t batted in a while. It feels great. Every time I come here it feels special. I don’t know there is some energy in his ground that keeps me going.” Ashwin stated.

A heartfelt gesture

In a touching moment, Ashwin revealed that he would gift the ball with which he picked his five-wicket haul to his daughters as a special Daughter’s Day present. This gesture showcased his love and appreciation for his family and their unwavering support.

In the end, Ashwin thanked his wife for bringing him good luck and being there for him. “Thankyou for being there and bringing me good luck,” he concluded.

With the victory in the first Test, India took an unassailable 1-0 lead in the two-match series against Bangladesh. The second Test is scheduled to be played in Kanpur from September 27. Ashwin’s exceptional performance has set the tone for the series, and it will be interesting to see if he can continue his dominant form in the upcoming match.

Ravichandran Ashwin reflects on his performance

After the match, Ashwin expressed his satisfaction with his performance and the team’s victory. He acknowledged the pressure he faced to replace Harbhajan Singh, a legendary spinner, and expressed his gratitude for t??he support he has received throughout his career.

“I can’t really comment on what sort of impact I have had on this Test match. I had huge shoes to fill, I came in to replace Harbhajan, I used to replicate his action in junior cricket, he was an inspiration to me,” said Ashwin.

The local lad also highlighted the importance of preparation and experience in his ??success. He mentioned his training in ?the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) as a key factor in his performance.

“Generally here [at the Chepauk Stadium] when you hit the ball it doesn’t travel faster, but this was a different pitch, felt like back in the 2010s, what helped was the preparation I put in while playing TNPL. I had a good preparatory camp before TNPL and also had a good finish in the TNPL. That helped me here,” he added.

The veteran off-spinner even threw light on his partnership with Jadeja, emphasizing their understanding and experience. He noted that Jadeja’s calm presence and batting abilities provide a sense of stability to the team.

“He [Ravindra Jadeja] is one of the best batters in the Indian team, maybe even in the world, he is a trusted batter, Jadeja walking out gives a lot of calmness to the team. He helped me a lot through my innings. He told me, looks like you are batting really well, you need to buckle down like you are facing your first 10 balls, talking about leaving a few more balls. That partnership comes with experience and batting a lot together,”  Ash??win, who was adjudged Player of the Match for his all-round show, added further.

The two-match Test series between India and Bangladesh is all set to captivate cricket enthusiasts, with the first match scheduled to be?gin on Thursday, September 19, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Bangladesh aiming for their first win against India

Under the leadership of Najmul Hossain Shanto, Bangladesh will be striving for their maiden victory against India in the longest format. Historically, Bangladesh have struggled in this matchup, having played 13 Tests against India without a win. Out of these encounters, they have faced 11 defeats, with only two matches ending in draws. This series will present a golden opportunity for the Bangladeshi side to turn the tables as they are coming into the series riding high on confidence following a successful tour of Pakistan.

India’s dominance in Test cricket

India, led by the experienced Rohit Sharma, will enter the series as one of the strongest teams in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 cycle. With a deep batting lineup, world-class spinners, and a pace attack that can exploit any conditions, India is undoubtedly a daunting opponent. Rohit Sharma‘s side has been in exceptional form, consistently delivering top-notch performances both at home and abroad. As they prepare to face Bangladesh, India will look to continue their dominant run in Test cricket and further solidify their top position in the WTC standings.

MA Chidambaram Stadium Pitch Report:

Chepauk Stadium is famed for its traditionally flat pitches, which develop into a spinner’s paradise as matches wear on. The surface’s gradual deterioration offers significant assistance to slower bowlers, enabling spinners to make the most of the conditions. This often leads to crucial breakthroughs, allowing them to dismantle batting lineups and maintain tight control over the game’s flow, especially in the later stages of the match.

In the high-stakes Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 final between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday (May 26), SRH captain Pat Cummins won the toss and elected to bat first, hoping to set a formidable target. However, the decision quickly backfired as KKR’s bowlers, led by Mitchell Starc, unleashed a devastating opening spell.

Early breakthrough by Mitchell Starc

SRH’s explosive opening duo, Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma, known for their destructive performances throughout the season, faced a challenging task against KKR’s pace attack spearheaded by Starc. Starc wasted no time in making an impact. On the fifth ball of the innings, he delivered a perfect length ball that pitched on the middle stump and tailed away at the last moment. Abhishek, who had been in sublime form, was completely deceived. The ball breached his defenses and clipped the top of the off-stump, leaving Abhishek stunned and bowled for just 2 runs. Starc’s brilliant outswinger set the tone for KKR, drawing first blood and putting SRH on the back foot from the outset.

Here’s the video:

AN ABSOLUTE RIPPER! 🤩

Important strike from Vaibhav Arora

Following Abhishek’s dismissal, SRH’s troubles compounded quickly. Vaibhav Arora, bowling with precision, sent back the dangerous Travis Head for a golden duck. Arora bowled a short-pitched outswinger that found the edge of Head’s bat, and the ball flew straight into the gloves of wicketkeeper Rahmanullah Gurbaz. With Head’s departure, SRH found themselves in deep trouble, losing both openers with just 2 runs on the board.

Starc’s double blow

Starc wasn’t done yet. Returning for his next over, he continued his lethal spell by dismissing the explosive Rahul Tripathi. Tripathi, known for his aggressive batting, was undone by Starc’s pace, managing only a brief stay at the crease. With SRH reduced to 40/3 by the end of the powerplay, Starc’s double blow had significantly dented SRH’s chances of posting a competitive total.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have booked their place in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 final after a comprehensive 36-run victory over Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Qualifier 2 on Friday. The final will see SRH facing Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday (May 26), setting the stage for a thrilling conclu??sion to the tournament.

Previous encounters favour KKR

This season, SRH and KKR have already faced off twice, with KKR emerging victorious on both occasions. The most recent encounter between the two teams occurred in Qualifier 1, where KKR clinched an eight-wicket win in Ahmedabad, earning them a direct path to the final. Earlier in the season, during their first clash, KKR edged out SRH by four runs in a closely contested m??atch. These victories have not only given KKR a psychological edge but have also highlighted their consistency and tactical superiority.

Kevin Pietersen’s prediction

As anticipation builds for the title match, former England batter Kevin Pietersen has weighed in with his prediction, backing KKR to win the championship. Speaking to Star Sports cricket live, Pietersen cited KKR’s formidable spin attack and their recent record against SRH as key factors that give them an advantage. He emphasized that KKR’s spinners have been instrumental throughout the season, often turning matches in their favor with their skill and precision.

” I didn’t like the way the Sunrisers threw in the towel the other evening in Ahmedabad, and I think it’s going to put them on the back foot for the start on Sunday. The way they just finished that game off, Pat Cummins gave Travis Head the ball, and Shreyas Iyer just went bang, bang, bang,” Pietersen said.

Spin attack and positive mindset

Pietersen believed that for SRH to overcome KKR in the final, the Pat Cummins-led side will need to deliver an extraord??inary performance.

“It’ll give KKR a lot of confidence going into the finals knowing that they’ve already beaten SRH a couple of days ago. So it’s going to be hard for the Sunrisers to get up, but I think they will because they won the SA20, so they know how to win,” the 43-year-old added.

However, Pietersen also pointed out that KKR’s positive mindset and all-round firepower make them slight favorites. He praised KKR’s ability to maintain a strong, cohesive unit under pressure, which has been a hallmark of their campaign this season. He highlighted the importance of the toss, suggesting that it could play a crucial role in determining the outcome of the match.

“The toss is 50-50. I think that you have to consider the possibility of dew and also be prepared if it doesn’t come. It’s all about the mindset and confidence coming into this fixture. That’s where I think KKR have an advantage, given the way they’ve played, their convincing win in qualifier one, and their preparation over the last three or four days,” Pietersen concluded.

CSK Sets a Daunting Target

Tushar Deshpande was particularly lethal, claiming 4 wickets for 27 runs in his 3 overs. Mustafizur Rahman and Matheesha Pathirana also chipped in with crucial wickets, ensuring that the Sunrisers’ lineup was decimated without much resistance.
