News summary

Ravichandran Ashwin achieved a remarkable milestone on the first day of the Test match against Bangladesh, becoming only the second player to score 1000 runs and take 100 wickets in the World Test Championship (WTC), joining fellow Indian Ravindra Jadeja in this exclusive club. Ashwin's achievements came alongside a record-setting seventh-wicket partnership of 195 runs with Jadeja, surpassing the previous record of 138 runs set in 2016. Despite India facing early difficulties with their top order collapsing to 144 for 6, Ashwin's 102 not out and Jadeja's 86 not out helped stabilize the innings, closing Day 1 at 339 for 6. Ashwin is also aiming to surpass Nathan Lyon as the leading wicket-taker in WTC history, needing just 14 wickets to do so. Additionally, if he secures a five-wicket haul in the series, he will be the first to achieve this milestone 11 times in WTC history. The match marks a significant moment in Ashwin's ongoing illustrious career as he continues to break records and contribute to India's Test cricket legacy.
