Ravichandran Ashwin played an important role in helping India win the second Test match against Bangladesh. Ashwin set his feet on the wicket at a crucial time and shared a partnership with Shreyas Iyer to win the team. Ashwin scored an unbeaten 42 in this match and after this victory, he celebrated in an aggressive manner. As aggressive as Ashwin looked on the field, he appeared in the same avatar on Twitter as well and he lashed out at a Sri Lankan cricket writer on Twitter.
Ashwin won the team by sharing an unbroken 71-run partnership for the eighth wicket with Iyer. Iyer faced 46 balls and scored an unbeaten 29 runs. He hit four fours in this innings. Ashwin faced 62 balls and hit four fours and a six.
mouth shut like this
Ashwin was adjudged Player of the Match for his brilliant performance in this match. On this, a Sri Lankan cricket writer tweeted, “You should have given this trophy to Mominul Haque who dropped your easy catch. If he had caught this catch, India would have been all out on 89.
Responding to this tweet, Ashwin wrote, “Oh no. I thought I blogged you. Sorry, but it was someone else. What was his name, Daniel Alexander. I am wondering what you both would have done if India did not play cricket.
Oh no! I thought I blocked you, oh sorry that’s the other guy. 🤔🤔🤔 what’s his name?? Yes Daniel Alexander that’s the name!! Imagine what you both would do if India dint play cricket😂😂 https://t.co/FFqBvAPtDh

This is how India won
India needed only 145 runs to win in the fourth innings. But it was difficult for him to achieve this goal. India had lost its four wickets for 45 runs on the third day. Then the trouble had increased for Team India. The wickets of Jaydev Unadkat, Rishabh Pant and Akshar Patel were also lost on the fourth day. Then Iyer and Ashwin handled the team and returned only after winning.
In the match, Ashwin also did wonders with the ball and showed the magic of his spin. Ashwin took four wickets in the first innings of this match. After this he took two wickets in the second innings.
