Since making his County Cricket debut last month, Ravichandran Ashwin has been in the news for taking his team Worcestershire to multiple victories by contributing with both the bat and the ball. After getting his first scalp in his debut match of the Specsavers County Championship Division Two, now the Indian spin sensation has registered his maiden half-century in the format, as well.

On the second day of the division two match between Worcestershire and Durham, Ravichandran Ashwin, with 82 off 130 balls, turned the face of the game and became the highest-scorer for Worcestershire innings whose innings ended at 335 all out in 90.2 overs.

That said, the reason Ravichandran Ashwin has made it to the tournament’s headlines has nothing to do with his batting prowess and when Worcestershire’s bowling attack, there was one delivery that left team members from both the teams stunned.

Ravichandran Ashwin bowled a class defining delivery to dismiss Durham’s skipper Paul Collingwood in the 33rd over of the innings.

The English batsman was looking set on 27 runs and Ravichandran Ashwin was introduced for the second time into the bowling attack for the 33rd over. Ashwin’s fifth delivery of the over, pitched in good length area but turned viciously towards the batsman. While Collingwood was looking to cut the delivery he least expected the ball to turn square, however, the ball spun sharply from outside the off-stump to crash right into the leg stump, leaving the batsman shocked.
