R Ashwin

R Ashwin said failure to deliver for his team in the past hit his pride and hoped his three-wicket haul on Day One was enough to keep India afloat in the second Test against South Africa here on Saturday. On a day when the seamers failed to make much of a dent on a easy-paced wicket, Ashwin took 3-90 as the hosts finished day one at 269 for six at stumps. "I like to think I have kept us in the game. It could have so easily been a game where they could have run away with it after the second session. I like to believe I was just dogged enough," Ashwin said after the day's play.
