Ravichandran Ashwin praised Bangladesh for their stunning turnaround against Australia in the first Test in Darwin. Bangladesh had been bowled out for just 54 in the warm-up game but dominated the opening two days of the Test. Ashwin said the performance was unexpected and highlighted the unpredictable nature of Test cricket, adding, “Long may this format live.”
Bangladesh have shocked the cricketing world after dominating Australia in the first two days of their Test match against Australia in Darwin. The Bangladesh pacers knocked out the hosts for just 198 before Tanzid Hasan smashed a century to power them past 300.
That performance comes after the same full strength side were bowled out for just 54 in a tour game before the series. The turnaround has earned praise from former India all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin.
“Bangladesh have put Australia on the back foot in Darwin, and that couldn’t have been on anyone’s script,” Ashwin posted on X.
He pointed out the huge difference between Bangladesh’s warm-up performance and their display in the Test. The turnaround has surprised many and made the contest more exciting.
