Although Ravichandran Ashwin is known for his bowling, but when he has the bat in his hand and the team needs it, he does not miss out on scoring runs. Ashwin did just that in the Chennai Test. This right-handed batsman came in at number 8 and scored a brilliant century. Ashwin has scored a Test century for the second time on his home ground. He scored his last Test century against England on 15 February 2021 and now this player has scored a century again in Chennai after 1312 days. This is Ashwin's sixth century and the amazing thing is that this player has always scored a century in difficult times.

Ashwin scores a century in Chennai

When R Ashwin stepped on the crease, 6 batsmen were out. After Rohit, Virat, Shubman, Pant, Jaiswal and Rahul's wickets had also fallen. It seemed that Team India would not be able to cross the 200 mark. But Ashwin, who came at number 8, made his intentions clear as soon as he came to the crease. This player hit two big fours as soon as he came and seeing them it was clear that today this player will do something big. Ashwin proved it and scored a half-century in just 58 balls. Ashwin did not stop here, this player not only took his partnership with Jadeja beyond 150, but he also reached a century in the next 50 balls.

A stellar TON when the going got tough!

A round of applause for Chennai's very own – @ashwinravi99
