India's Ravichandran Ashwin was at his best on the opening day of the Chennai Test against Bangladesh. Coming in to bat when India were 144 for 6, Ashwin joined hands with Ravindra Jadeja and bailed India out of trouble.
The duo stitched an unbeaten 195-run partnership for the 7th wicket to put the hosts in a dominating position by the end of play at MA Chidambaram Stadium on Thursday.
Both Ashwin and Jadeja played beautifully with the right-handed all-rounder racing to his century in 108 balls. During his knock, Ashwin slammed 10 fours and two sixes as the Bangladesh bowlers were simply helpless in the last session of play on Day 1.
One shot from Ashwin during his sensational knock even drew a priceless reaction from head coach Gautam Gambhir, who usually maintains a straight face.
