IND v ENG 2021: WATCH- “Vera Vera Level” Virat Kohli encourages R Ashwin in Tamil

Ashwin picked 8 wickets and scored a century in India's 317-run win over England in 2nd Test.

R Ashwin was the hero of the Indian team’s 317-run win over England in the second Test match at Chennai recently. He not only picked 8 wickets including a five-wicket haul but also made a sublime 106 in the second innings.

His century was the reason why India posted a target of 482 runs against England. This was Ashwin’s fifth Test century and first one in front of his home crowd in Chennai. He also dismissed the dangerous Ben Stokes both times in the Test match.

Ashwin, from Chennai, had a dream game in front of his home crowd which cheered every move of his on the field, with bat or ball. Constant encouragement for the local hero was one of the highlights of the game, with Ashwin himself saying he felt like a hero through the game.

Not only the crowd but India captain Virat Kohli was also seen egging Ashwin on and was heard shouting in Tamil, 'vera level, vera level Ash' (different level) as Ashwin bowled to Ben Stokes. Even Rishabh Pant followed Kohli and started encouraging his ace spinner.
