Ravichandran Ashwin has broken and created multiple records in the ongoing five-match Test series against England. He will be eyeing yet another major milestone in the fifth Test set to be played in Dharamsala starting from March 7.
“To tell the truth, I don’t rue missing out on my hundred at all because it’s my debut Test series. In truth, I’m desperate to lift this trophy with my hands, because playing Test cricket was always a big dream of mine,” Jurel said after Day 3's play in Ranchi.
The veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin took five wickets and Kuldeep Yadav claimed four for 22 to bowl out England on 145 in the second innings of the fourth Test match in Ranchi to give India complete control on Day 3.
"I had to go back and rewire the way I had to think about the game. I am someone who comes over the top, and comes down on the ball. I like the ball to drop on the pitch," Ravichandran Ashwin told broadcaster after taking five wickets on Day 3.
Dhruv Jurel recorded his maiden fifty by smashing 90 off 149 balls as India added 88 runs to their first innings total on Day 3 before collapsing on 307 in the first innings. Shoaib Bashir took five wickets for England while Tom Hartley shone with three.
