The build-up to Ravichandran Ashwin’s 100th Test was tremendous. We were watching it like another match. But I don’t think it is an easy thing for any player to achieve this feat. We’ve been talking about this a lot over the past few weeks and it’s really a big thing to achieve this milestone. He has achieved this feat only with the help of his teammates and family. He really got a lot of support from everyone. Ravichandran Ashwin has performed very well in this entire tournament. Even in the fifth and final Test being played at this time, he bowled very well in the first innings and took four wickets for 51 runs. Kuldeep Yadav took 5 wickets in the first innings for the Indian team and due to the bowling of these two, the English team was all out for 218 runs in its first innings.
