Fans on Twitter laud Ashwin and Saha after their centuries
Aug 10, 2016 at 10:47 PM
Continuing his fine form with the bat Ravichandran Ashwin has scored his second century in the four-match series against West Indies during the third Test at St Lucia. Ashwin, who scored 113 in the first Test at Antigua, came to the pitch when the team was in a spot of bother after losing 4 wickets for only 87 runs. India’s problems increased when they lost in-form batsman Ajinkya Rahane with only 126 runs on the board. With half the team already in pavilion, things were not looking too bright for the Indian camp but then a 108 runs partnership between Ashwin and Wriddhiman Saha helped the team to finish the day one on 234 without losing anymore wicket. Resuming the second day, both the batsmen looked comfortable and reached personal milestones. While Saha scored his maiden Test hundred, Ashwin reached his fourth Test hundred.
Let us see how the fans reacted to their centuries:
R ashwin is to west indies what sanath jayasuriya was to India.#WIvsIND

If Ashwin was a LHB, he would have opened for India, occupying Dhawan's place. #WIvsIND

Ashwin's superb average of 66.57 is higher than Sunil Gavaskar ave.65.45 . Minimum 5 innings against west indies. #WIvsIND

When hard working simple guys like Ashwin perform all round, makes us feel good. Things aren't that complicated. Simple hai. #WivsInd

There's a certain kind of lazy elegance with which #Ashwin pleases one's eyes when plays those strokes on the up or off his legs #IndvsWI

This Ashwin-Saha takes my mind back to Ratra-Laxman in 2002.
Hundreds, Double-Hundred Pship, similar styles. #WIvsIND— Arjun Ashok (@arj_90) August 10, 2016
Yahi hai right choice baby, Saha !
West Indies Se surely ab Saha nahi jaata !
Well done @Wriddhipops#WIvIND— Virender Sehwag (@virendersehwag) August 10, 2016

1st test hundred for Saha. Typical Sahaesque knitty & gritty innings. Slowly proving his critics wrong with some solid batting! #IndvsWI
