The ongoing India vs England test match is becoming unpredictable with every passing day. The 3rd day of the second Test match played yesterday at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai saw the guests falling short of players to match up to their expectations.
On the other hand, Indian players like Ravichandran Ashwin seem to be in their best form. After bowling vivaciously and sending England’s batsmen back to the stands, the all-rounder also slammed a century on the pitch that was deemed ‘unplayable’. The 34-year-old scored 106 runs off 148 balls that consisted of 14 fours and a maximum, reported NDTV.

Cricket maestros and fans alike were in awe of the magnificent skills displayed by Ashwin yesterday.
Wonderful from Ashwin. I was beginning to fear that the batsman in him was getting lost. On a difficult track, this century is a gem.
