Haha I still remember bits and pieces of attending the 1987 tied test as a 3 year old . And she asked to go to see the game.

I wish her luck then..... I also did actually asked to attend the Test match, but oh boy..... Atleast she will have a smartphone to tune in to some YouTube.

Mominul was supossed to be your best batsman couple of years back if am not wrong

Its always been mushfiq though. His average gone up to 48 after 2017

India's catching has been great, especially all those scooped low off the ground.

Cricketers who have taken a 5for and a 100 in a test match on more than one occasion..

1.Sir Ian Botham - 5 times
2.Ravi Ashwin - 4 times
3.Sir Garry Sobers , Jacques Kallis,, Ravindra Jadeja, Mushtaq Mohammad, Shakib Al Hasan - 2 times

 

[capt_Luffy]

Ashwin has a very real chance to not just equal Botham's record, but potentially surpass it!!

 

[govinda indian fan]

Good win but need top order esp rohit and kohli to contribute more

 

[Daemon]

Biggest positive for me was the the bowling unit does not look rusty at all despite the long break

 

[honestbharani]

Also, EASILY one of the best if not the best test match pitches I have seen in recent times. There is a reason why its always the red soil tracks that turn out great. True pace, bounce and sharp, yet true spin which means stroke making, fast bowling, spin bowling, swing bowling all have something to look forward to in the game, almost every session and every day.

Ashwin's 37th 5-for puts him second on the all-time list in Test Cricket:

1.Muttiah Muralitharan - 67 5-fors in 133 Tests
2.Ravichandran Ashwin - 37 5-fors in 101 Tests
3.Shane Warne - 37 5-fors in 145 Tests
4.Sir Richard Hadlee - 36 5-fors in 86 Tests
5.Anil Kumble - 35 5-fors in 132 Tests

Okay but that 67 5-for for Murali is insane!!

 

[Silver Silva]

Okay but that 67 5-for for Murali is insane!!

Yeah I just realised if you add Kumble's 5fors to Anderson's 5fors you get Murali's total ..
It might never be beaten.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Ashwin should keep playing home tests into his 40s

 

[Sunil1z]

IIRC at the start of this century India had W/L ratio of around 0.65 . Ashwin/Jadeja deserve major credit for this improvement

 

[Thala_0710]

The same squad has been announced for the second test by India. This indicates Bumrah would be playing the second test as well

This is one of best pitches that india have produced seaming and swinging on day 1 flat on day 2 and 3 turning on day 4 and 5 need this kind of pitches every match will prepare batters for overseas tours
