Ashwin's blazing century makes it a beautiful twilight

When Ravichandran Ashwin made his debut for an age-group Tamil Nadu team, he did so as a batter who could bowl a bit. Years have gone by, the teenager of yesterday is in the twilight of a brilliant international career as an off-spinner, but his first love, batting, hasn’t left him.Ashwin hundred is his sixth century, but this one is different in many ways. On Thursday in the first Test against Bangladesh at MA Chidambaram Stadium, when Ashwin came into bat, India were truly in the dumps at 144-6. Test cricket returns to Chennai once in every three-four years and for the 38-year old Ashwin, this one may just be his last at home. And how he wanted to ensure that he takes India out of the doldrums and put them into a position of strength.
