Ashwin Lauds Bangladesh's Shocking Test Turnaround Against Australia
People are watching a big cricket match between Australia and Bangladesh.
Cricket is a sport where each team tries to score more runs than the other.
Australia is usually very strong at home, so most people expected them to win.
But Bangladesh surprised everyone with their great play.
Bangladesh's bowlers got Australia out for just 198 runs.
Then a young player named Tanzid Hasan scored a brilliant century, which means 100 runs.
He became the first player from Bangladesh ever to score a Test century in Australia.
It is extra amazing because the same team was bowled out for just 54 runs in a practice game before the series.
A famous former player, Ravichandran Ashwin, said this turnaround could not have been on anyone's script.
Now the match is very exciting because Bangladesh is on top.
Bangladesh dominated Australia in the first two days of the first Test in Darwin.
Australia were bowled out for just 198, with Hasan Mahmud taking brilliant figures of 6-55 on day one.
Tanzid Hasan scored 101 off 190 balls, becoming the first Bangladesh batter to hit a Test century on Australian soil.
The same full-strength Bangladesh side had been bowled out for just 54 in a tour game before the series.
Former India all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin praised the turnaround on X, saying it 'couldn't have been on anyone's script.'
