Fans on Twitter react as veteran Indian off-spinner R Ashwin plays another handy knock with the bat at No.8 for India in Tests in the ongoing first Test against Bangladesh. They lauded the senior player for his effort and called him one of the best all-rounders for India and also hilariously compared his knock with Bazball, saying this is “Ashwall.”
R Ashwin smashes his 13th fifty in the Test
Indian all-rounder R Ashwin played yet another sensational innings, batting lower down the order in the ongoing first Test against Bangladesh in Chattogram. It was a much-needed knock from the team’s perspective as it helped India go past 350 runs on the board.
Ashwin came to bat at the start of Day 2 when India was 278/6. The all-rounder looked settled and rock solid right from ball 1 and after the wicket of Shreyas Iyer, he took complete control and scored runs along with his staggering defensive technique.
Ashwin scored his half-century in 91 balls and also smashed 2 Fours and 2 sixes in his half-century. It’s fair to say that he looked more settled than most of the Indian batters on this surface. He along with Kuldeep Yadav has stitched an 80-plus partnership and is only making his side’s position strong in the match.
Ashwin has made Bangladesh bowlers look clueless and have made them work hard. The right-hander scored 58 runs in 113 balls before he was stumped. He notably, has been staggering for India at No.8 as he has smashed around 3000 runs along with 13 fifties and 5 hundreds.

13th fifty for Ravi Ashwin, he has been incredible with bat in the last few years since the Australian tour. pic.twitter.com/oT3FMpFNSG

CORRECTION
He has always been incredible with the bat, his downfall was only when they keep pushing him down and down & used his batting as excuse for not playing him overseas. https://t.co/cnyLksNAHn

Ashwin is more of a thinking cricketer.
He doesn't carry talent like Rohit.
AdvertisementHe isn't a big hitter like Dhoni.
He is not fit like Surya or a KL.
But when team requires, he will play like Dravid. He can get odd boundaries. He can find gaps.

What a cricketer @ashwinravi99 is!! India is fortunate to have a world class bowler who is also a gritty batsman in him. He’s playing such a valuable knock in Bangladesh – already the 3rd highest scorer.
