Mirpur test seems lost. On a complicated pitch, where the ball was often low and behaved maliciously, India lost 7 points with a score of 74. The big boys were back in the hut. Target, 145, looks far away. That’s when Ravichandran Ashwin participation Shreyas Iyer between. They are the last hitters to stand. Only those following Umesh Yadav and Mohd Siraj are still covered.
Ashwin (36), an all-rounder, scored 5 centuries in his 88-trial career. But his masterpieces are not tons, even half a century. Like the undefeated 42 he made on Sunday, those are lessons in how to deal with the exact situations life throws at you, occasions where one’s mettle is truly rewarded. challenges. On Christmas morning, alongside equally calm Iyer (29 not out), he forged a partnership that lasted 71 times uninterrupted to deliver a tense three-stroke win. straight. He is again the hero and savior of India abroad.
Remember in January 2021 meet Australia in Sydney, the day that Ashwin could not bend over to tie his shoelaces but fought and fought for over three hours with the limping Hanuma Vihari for a draw that felt like victory.
That quarter represents defiance. Remember he faced Pakistan’s Mohd Nawaz in the T20 World Cup in Melbourne last month.
Only someone with the nerves of an iceberg could casually skip the final serve of the game to gain an advantage in that thrilling encounter. That cameo also emphasizes his situational awareness and unique commitment to accomplishing what needs to be done.
In Mirpur, Ashwin once again displayed the best traits – defiance, awareness and composure – in those two collisions. And then added a new dimension, calculated aggression, to IPL-style getting the job done. Down 1, Ashwin did not give the home team a second chance.
Bangladesh held his head in amazement, how he managed to stop that quick serve from speed controller Khaled Ahmed and equally confused as he switched channels to hit the last 19 balls. that he faces.
In his last game, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, the deadliest pitcher of the day, was hit 16 times, including two quads and one six over a long period of time. That shot was undoubtedly the bravest shot of Ashwin’s Test career.
The quiz could have been watched by fewer people than the MCG game. But its impact is immeasurable. The 2-0 series win maintains India’s spotless Test record against Bangladesh and keeps captain KL Rahul and teammates in second place and in the hunt for the World Test Championship final. world next year. A loss would push India down to 4th place on the table.
Teaming up with Ashwin, it’s all about Shreyas Iyer, a 28-year-old middle-aged batman from Mumbai. Unlike all the other frontline fighters, Iyer looked unchallenged on the field as he delivered the most valuable fourth-round knockdown of his brief Test career. .
It was his attack against Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan, particularly a swerve against the rotation, that changed the mood and tenor of the game. With this round, Iyer won his advantage.
Over the decades, India has been involved in many memorable chases in the Overseas Test, notably the Oval 1971, Port of Spain 1976, Kandy 2001, Brisbane 2021. But Mirpur 2022 was a win by the odds. close number. To use a commonly used but appropriate phrase, it is a victory won from the function of defeat. That’s what makes it extra special.
Unfortunately, victories tend to bury uncomfortable questions. But it’s no secret that neither Rahul nor Kohli hit 25 in any of the rounds they played. The only player with a lower hitting average than them is the speedster Mohd Siraj.
Regular Captain, currently under repair, Rohit Sharma was also below his best. How interesting would it be? Team India face off against formidable visitors Australia in a series of four Tests starting in February.
