Twitter reacts to R Ashwin’s terrific slider leaving Mominul Haque’s stumps crashing

After initial inroads made by the Indian pacers, Ashwin was back at his familiar territory, with the memories of his exploits against New Zealand at the same venue three years ago lurking in his mind. However, two catches were dropped off his bowling and had it been anyone else, frustration might have come out in the most expected way possible.But the way he found his redemption in the 38th over was the classic case of having to do with his own talent rather than relying on someone else. Bowling from around the wicket, the offie bowled a slider back to the Bangladeshi skipper, and the batsman had no idea of the drift that was on the delivery.Instead of putting his leg in the right position to tackle the delivery, Mominul left thinking that it would turn away from him. However, it drifted inward, leaving him in a spot of extreme difficulty. The lack of the turn made things even more difficult as Haque was sent back to the pavilion to gift Ashwin his 250th Test wicket at home.

Whadda beauty by Ashwin!

Another day, Another player, Another record!

Take a bow Ravi Ashwin!

Magician of the day!
