IND vs BAN: R Ashwin Scores 6th Test Century In Chennai
R Ashwin once again proved to be a thorn in Bangladesh's side by scoring his sixth Test century on Thursday, September 19. On the opening day of the first Test in Chennai, Ashwin reached his hundred in just 108 balls, hitting 10 boundaries and two sixes. He came to bat when India was struggling at 144 for 6 after a top-order collapse.
With KL Rahul dismissed for only 12 runs, Ashwin partnered with Ravindra Jadeja to stabilise the innings. While Jadeja played a supporting role, Ashwin took charge, especially against the spinners Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Shakib Al Hasan. A notable moment was when Ashwin hit a six off Shakib to reach his fifty in just 58 balls, thrilling the home crowd.

IND vs BAN: Ashwin's Dominance
Ashwin continued his aggressive approach alongside Jadeja, ensuring India surpassed the 300-run mark. Despite a few close calls where the ball edged past slips, he remained unfazed. He eventually brought up his century with a simple single, marking another memorable performance against Bangladesh.
This isn't the first time Ashwin has troubled Bangladesh. In their last encounter in Mirpur, he took six wickets and scored a crucial 42 runs to help India snatch victory from defeat. His partnership with Shreyas Iyer in 2022 was also noteworthy.
Chepauk: A Happy Hunting Ground
The Chepauk Stadium seems to be a favourite venue for Ashwin. This century marks his second consecutive hundred at this ground in Tests, following his ton against England in 2021. With this achievement, he joins legends like Gundappa Viswanath, Kapil Dev, and Virender Sehwag on the list of most hundreds at Chepauk.
Sachin Tendulkar tops this list with five centuries at Chepauk, while Sunil Gavaskar follows with three. As day one concluded, Ashwin remained unbeaten on 102 runs with India posting a total of 339 for six wickets.
