He played an innings of 113 runs in the first innings
After losing the toss against Bangladesh, Team India had a very bad start while batting. Then Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill could not play big innings in the top order. After this, Ashwin came at number-8 and batted brilliantly. He scored 113 runs in 133 balls, which included 11 fours and 2 sixes. It was only because of his century that Team India was able to score 376 runs in the first innings.

After batting, Ravichandran Ashwin also showed his magic in bowling. In the second innings, he proved to be the biggest killer for the Bangladeshi team. Bangladesh’s batting attack completely collapsed in front of him. The batsmen of the opposing team were desperate to stay on the crease, let alone score runs. In the second innings, he bowled 21 overs, conceding 88 runs and taking 6 wickets. Jadeja supported him well and took three wickets.
