New Delhi. On the Chennai pitch where Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill failed miserably, Ashwin and Jadeja thrashed the bowlers in a way that will be remembered for years. Especially the Bangladesh team and fans will remember the bad condition of their bowlers for a long time. At one time, Bangladesh had taken 6 wickets of India for 144 runs. Then it seemed that India would hardly reach even 200 runs. But all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja changed the whole scenario by making a partnership of 195 runs. When the day’s play ended, India was standing strong by scoring 339 runs for 6 wickets.
