IND vs BAN: The upcoming two-match Test series between India and Bangladesh is set to begin on September 19. The first match of the series will be played at the iconic Chepauk ground in Chennai, and the Indian team is finalizing its preparations for the match. Team India's key players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah are being discussed in this series, but there is one player whose role is not getting enough attention—the real boss of Chennai, R Ashwin.

The real star of Chennai: R Ashwin

R Ashwin, the leading all-rounder of Indian Test cricket, is famous for his spin bowling and has also demonstrated his ability in batting. Ashwin has a great record in Test matches played in Chennai. He has played a total of 4 Test matches in Chennai so far, and if he also becomes a part of the playing 11 in the first Test against Bangladesh, it will be his fifth appearance overall.

Ashwin has taken a total of 30 wickets in these Test matches and has also scored 229 runs with the bat at an average of 38.16. These figures are more than Rohit Sharma's 205 runs scored in Chennai. This ability of Ashwin makes him an important player for Team India, especially when the match is on his home ground.

Record against Bangladesh

R Ashwin has played 6 Test matches against Bangladesh, in which he has taken 23 wickets and scored 157 runs with the bat. Even though Ashwin's performance in batting has been relatively average, his bowling ability has been excellent against Bangladesh. This series is a good opportunity for Ashwin to improve his performance even more.

World Test Championship Record

Ashwin is very close to another important record. He is on the verge of becoming the highest wicket-taker in the history of the World Test Championship. He needs only 14 wickets to achieve this feat. With a good performance in this series, he can make this record in his name.

Conclusion

R Ashwin's role will be extremely crucial in the first match of this Test series between India and Bangladesh. Given his impressive record at home in Chennai and his good performance against Bangladesh, there are a lot of expectations from Ashwin. His performance will not only benefit the Indian team, but he can also achieve another big milestone in his career. Every ball and every run from Ashwin will be awaited during this Test series, as he is all set to make his mark on this big stage of cricket.
