    "editor1": "<p>All-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin was in &quot;unbelievable pain&quot; on Sunday night and &quot;could not stand up straight&quot; when he woke up on Monday morning on the final day of the third Test against Australia, his wife Prithi has said.<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-livescore\/scorecard\/13071971638\/india-tour-of-australia-1\"> IND vs AUS Full SCORECARD<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Despite that, Ashwin, along with Hanuma Vihari (23* off 161 balls), showed great grit and resilience to help India secure a famous draw at the Sydney Cricket Ground and set up a compelling finale to the ongoing four-match series later this week.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chasing a mammoth target of 407, India reached 334\/5 batting for 131 overs before both the teams decided to shake hands on the final day of the Test match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ashwin scored unbeaten 39 runs from the 128 deliveries he faced and along with an injured Vihari - who was barely able to move due to injury - he shared an unbeaten 62-run partnership, batting for more than 40 overs and ensured the hosts didn&#39;t take a 2-1 lead in the series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;<strong>The man went to bed last night with a terrible back tweak and in unbelievable pain. He could not stand up straight when he woke up this morning. Could not bend down to tie his shoelaces. I am amazed at what Ravichandran Ashwin pulled off today,<\/strong>&quot; tweeted Prithi after the end of the Test match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The man went to bed last night with a terrible back tweak and in unbelievable pain.

There was a bit of double bounce, so it was difficult against Cummins,<\/strong>&quot; said the off-spinning all-rounder.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 34-year-old also posted a couple of pictures on Instagram after the conclusion of the match with a caption: &quot;<strong>The picture says it all. A feeling that I cannot express in words. Thanks to all my teammates and well-wishers.<\/strong>&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ashwin has scalped 12 wickets and scored 78 runs in the three matches that have been played so far in the series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>With the series tied at 1-1, Australia and India will now face each other in the final Test beginning Friday at The Gabba in Brisbane.<\/p>\r\n",
