It was a memorable outing on Day 1 of the first Test against Bangladesh for India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who became the joint-quickest alongside Sri Lanka l☂egend Muttiah Muralitharan to take 250 Test wickets on home soil.
Ashwin also ✅joined the likes of Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh in an elite list as he became only the third Indian bowler to complete the milestone. ꦫAshwin bowled an absolute to pick up his 250th home Test wicket as he castled the Bangladeshi skipper Mominul Haque with an under-cutter.
Mominul, who came to bat after the dismis🍬sal of opener Imrul Kayes, was playing a gritty knock when Ashwin decided to bring the under-cutter⛦ into the play which outfoxed the newly appointed Bangladesh captain.
As༒hwin pitched the ball outside the off-stump and Mominul decided to leave it considering it would turn away from him. However, with Ashwin bowling from around the wickets, the angle of the delivery helped the experienced campaigner rattling the stumps to send Mominum back to the pavilion.
BOWLED 'EM!
Mominul offers no shot and pays the price! 😅
