IND vs BAN, 1st Test: Ravichandran Ashwin, who got to his sixth Test match ton on Thursday (September 19), got out for 113 early on Day 2 (Friday). Realising what a fine effort it had been from the veteran India all-rounder and the perhaps the possibility of this being the 38-year-old's last Test match at home, the crowd at the MA Chidambaram Stadium (Chepauk) gave a standing applause as he walked back towards the pavilion.

Several pictures and videos of the incident have surfaced on social media.

Ravichandran Ashwin Top Scores In India's First Innings Effort

Notably, this was Ashwin's sixth Test ton and his second at home. With India reeling at 144/6, it was majorly due to Ashwin's counter-attacking approach that the hosts were able to get to a strong position. Along with Jadeja, Ashwin registered a 199-run stand for the seventh wicket. However, Jadeja could not get to the three-figure mark, getting out for 86 with Ashwin also following him to the pavilion shortly after.

Both Ashwin and Jadeja were removed by Taskin Ahmed who had a three-wicket burst on Day 2 before Hasan Mahmud returned to pick the final Indian wicket to complete his fifer and finish with impressive figures of 5/83.

After shining with the bat, Ashwin will be required to pitch in the ball with the pitch likely to assist spinners as the Test match progresses.
