“Ravi Ashwin is a great fighter and has proved it many times in Test cricket” – Twitter reacts after Ravichandran Ashwin said he always puts himself in tough situations from a young age

India’s veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin drew plaudits for his exceptional all-round performance in the second and final Test match against the Bangladesh cricket team at Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka.

During the first innings, he was one of the top performers with the ball as he weaved the magic at the right time to account for four dismissals. Besides that, he also took two wickets to his name in the second innings.

The experienced campaigner was under immense pressure when India lost seven wickets for 74 runs. Bangladesh required just three wickets to win the game whereas India still had a mountain to climb in the run-chase.

Needless to say, the likes of Ravichandran Ashwin and Shreyas Iyer held their nerves and took the bowling attack to the cleaners by approaching the game with caution and a bit of aggression.

The veteran cricketer scored a match-winning knock of 42 off 62 balls where he struck four boundaries and a six. On the other hand, Shreyas Iyer too supported him well by scoring 29 off 46 balls including four boundaries.

The duo added a match-winning 71-run stand for the eighth wicket, which was more than enough to see them churn out a positive result as India got the better of the Bangladesh cricket team by three wickets and inflicted a 2-0 whitewash on the Tigers.

While speaking to Cricbuzz, Ravichandran Ashwin said he doesn’t like to go down without a fight and that he doesn’t like to lose to anyone in the first place. He further added that he always puts himself in tough situations from a young age, which is why he fights every single day by giving absolutely everything.

During the second Test against Bangladesh, Ashwin completed 3000 runs in the longest format of the game. He currently has 449 wickets in this format.
