Veteran Team India cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin was the center of attention due to his herculean all-round efforts in the opening Test against Bangladesh at the Chepauk in Chennai. In a video surfaced on social media after the match, Ashwin was seen hugging his wife Prithi Narayanan, while Rohit Sharma was seen bonding with his teammate's kids.
Ashwin was the wrecker-in-chief of Bangladesh with the bat and ball for India. The 38-year-old hit a classy 113 in the first innings to bail India out of a precarious 144-6, leading them to 376 eventually. While he went wicketless in the first innings, the veteran bagged six in the fourth and raised his career-tally to 522.
Below is the video of Ashwin bonding with his family:
"Every time I play in Chennai, it's an amazing feeling" - Ravichandran Ashwin
Having won his 9th Player of the Match award in Test cricket, Ashwin said he doesn't keep track of those and insisted that all he does enjoy his playing. The Tamil Nadu-born cricketer took pride at the hard-fought win India managed to secure in Chennai.
"I don't keep track of POTM awards. Every time I play in Chennai, it's an amazing feeling. I've watched a lot of Tests, int'l cricket in those stands, to do it in front of those renovated stands is great. It was an opportunity to fight, dig in deep. I've seen so many team-mates do it in the past. Was a special innings, didn't sink in till day 2."
India have named an unchanged squad for the 2nd Test in Kanpur, beginning on September 27th.
