India vs England: As R Ashwin becomes 'Chepauk Master,' wife Prithi's tweet goes viral

Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin was the man on every headline as the Chennai lad put up a sterling show to notch up his fifth Test century against England on Day Three of the second Test. 

Soon after the third day ended, Twitter was filled will praises and memes showing their love for the spinner. Ashwin's wife Prithi too joined the bandwagon and shared a hilarious tweet to celebrate her husband's achievement. 

In the photo she shared, fans had replaced Ashwin face with that of Tamil actor Vijay in the movie poster 'Master'. Prithi shared the photo asking "who did this".

Ashwin scored 106 off 148 balls while smashing 14 fours and a six. He helped India put up 286 runs in the second innings. Mohammad Siraj remained unbeaten on 16, and the duo added 49 runs for the final wicket.

India then prized out the wickets of openers Dom Sibley (3) and Rory Burns (25) as well as night-watchman Jack Leach (0) to set England back in chase of 482. England are still 430 runs adrift. 

"I'm really thankful it's happened at my home ground," Ashwin had told the broadcasters after the third day's play.

"I don't know if I'm going to play another test here. I don't know when the next test is going to be here, but I'm super pleased."

Ashwin along with skipper Virat Kohli - who made 62 - showed critics how to play spin on a deteriorating track. "After the last test, we were talking about how we're going to counter (Jack) Leach and start bringing the sweep to the game," Ashwin said, explaining his batting.

"We were practising that shot only for the last week to 10 days, and I'm very thankful that the plans really paid off."
