Ravichandran Ashwin was the hero for India in the side's 280-run victory over Bangladesh in the first Test at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday.

While Ashwin came up with a crafy 113 in the only chance he got to bat, he returned figures of 6 for 88 in the final innings of the game to help India secure an easy win.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) uploaded a video on social media in which Ashwin was seen spending some quality time with his wife Prithi Narayanan and daughters Aadhya and Akhira. "The kids want to know what do you give them for daughter's day?" asked Prithi in the video. "I will give them the ball I picked fifer with.

Will that do?" replied Ashwin. "No," said one of his daughters, while another one also stood there without any clear reply. "What do you want," asked Ashwin. "I don't know," replied the kid.
