The duo stabilized India's innings to end the first day's play at 339/6 after Ashwin's 102 not out and Jadeja's unbeaten 86 at Chepauk. India once reeled at 144/6 after Bangladesh pacer Hasan Mahmud dismantled the hosts' top order by defeating Rohit Sharma (6), Shubman Gill (0), Virat Kohli (6) and Rishabh Pant (39) in the second session.
Wickets by Yashasvi Jaiswal (56) and KL Rahul (16) in the second session further intensified India's struggle in the middle before Ashwin-Jadeja restored the home team's dominance.

Jaddu has been one of our best batsmen for our team in" Being there for the last few years was pretty solid and he was also a big help in telling me that we don't have to turn two into three, which was a big help for me," Ashwin said.

The last time I scored a hundred, you were coach Ravi bhai (Ravi Shastri). feels special. It helps that I came back at the end of a T20 tournament (TNPL), I worked quite a bit on my batting of course, I have always been swinging my bat outside the off stump. We worked on a few things and on a surface like this with a little bit of. spicy, if you go after the ball, you can also do it very hard like Rishabh does," he added.
