#4 – Offspin by Professor Ashwin
Bangladesh is happily moving along towards the target, while Indian seamers are gifting them the bad deliveries to score boundaries off. Out comes Ravichandran Ashwin to bowl his last over.
The first one is an absolute peach. Slow, looped up, it draws the batsman forward and turns; inviting the outside edge from a dangerous looking Shakib alHasan. Raina grabs on to a simple opportunity at first slip.
Lefthanded Soumya Sarkar comes out to bat and Ashwin does a live demonstration of how to bowl off spin to southpaws. The second delivery of the over, grips and turns. Dot. Third delivery goes with the arm, fielded at covers. Dot. Fourth delivery misses the outside edge by a whisker. Dot. Fifth delivery draws Sarkar forward, but it lands and turns with spite. Dot again.
Sixth delivery is the carrom ball, the nervous batsman manages to make contact and takes a single. Ashwin ends the over with five dots, one wicket and just one run.
