Ashwin’s love affair with Chepauk continues
Last month, he guided TNPL side Dindigul Dragons to its maiden title with crucial knocks (69 n.o. off 30 balls, Qualifier 2; 52 off 46 balls, Final).
On Thursday, he made it even more special, completing his sixth Test century and second in as many Tests at this venue. “This is a ground I completely love to play cricket in. It’s given me a lot of wonderful memories,” Ashwin said to the host broadcaster after the day’s play.
The 38-year-old said the work he had put in during the TNPL helped him on Thursday.
“It helps that I’m coming off a T20 tournament where I worked quite a bit on batting and playing shots.
“On a surface like this with a bit of spice, if you’re going after the ball, you might as well go after it hard like Rishabh (Pant) does,” said Ashwin.
