After the end of Day 1's play, R Ashwin shed thoughts on his fifer and said, "Pretty good performance. There was moisture in the pitch in the first session. It got slow and started to spin a bit more. It got a lot more slower. Personally enjoyed my first spell and had to adapt a bit more after. Not surprised with the pitch, expected it to be a bit dry. In my previous tours of West Indies, when it spins, it also tends to be slow".

How does one overcome jet lag, adapts to the bowling conditions and executes it to perfection?
