Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja are two of the biggest match-winners in the team. Whether it is batting or bowling, the duo always stands out and puts India in the driver's position. Oppositions have come and go but the impact of the Ashwin-Jadeja pair has remained ever-lethal.

Ravindra Jadeja revealed the conversation he had with Ravichandran Ashwin during their 199-run partnership in the first innings against Bnagladesh.

Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja staged an impressive recovery for India against Bangladesh in Chennai. From a precarious position at 144 for six, their unbroken 195-run stand propelled India to 339 for six by day's close.

Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja put up a brave stand with the bat after India were under some trouble in the first innings, only to return with the ball and do more damage against Bangladesh in the first Test of the two-match series between India and Bangladesh at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday.

"I always envy him. So gifted, so talented. He's found ways to maximise his potential. I wish I could be him, but I'm glad I am myself," Ashwin told reporters during the post-day press meet in Chennai on Friday.

The way Ashwin and Jadeja kept reinventing themselves to keep pace with the evolving demands of the game has been remarkable.
