How did Ashwin and Jadeja rescue India in Chennai?

On the opening day of the first Test against Bangladesh, India found themselves in a precarious position, with the top order crumbling under Bangladesh's bowling attack.

By the time Ashwin and Jadeja joined forces, India was struggling at 144/6, with Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Shubman Gill all back in the pavilion. Gill departed without scoring, while Sharma and Kohli managed only six runs each.

Ashwin and Jadeja took charge, steadying the ship and bringing India back into the game. The two put on an impressive unbeaten partnership of 195 runs, leading India to a much more secure position at 339/6 by the end of the day.
