Ravichandran Aswhin News
Off-spinner Ravichandran Aswhin produced one of his most impactful performance outside the sub-continent as India reduced England to 285 for nine on the opening day of the first cricket Test, here on Wednesday.
Defending champions India beat Pakistan in their first match, but suffered an unlikely defeat at the hands of Sri Lanka, thus compromising their smooth passage into the knock-out stage.
Indian players have already started sharing what they were doing in the break.
On Monday, Karun Nair was the toss of the nation after he became the second Indian cricketer, after Virender Sehwag, to hit a Test triple hundred.
At the end of third day's play, England were precariously placed having lost four wickets, and still needing 56 more runs to make India bat again.
India were 31/0 after 12 overs with Rahul on 16 and Dhawan on 13.
Dhoni experimented with batting order, then introduded Ashwin as opening bowler.
