West Indian pacer, Justin Greaves channeled his inner Ravichandran Ashwin as he bowled a ripper of a delivery to dismiss Bangladesh's Litton Das in the second Test of the series. Greaves, a right-arm pace bowler delivered the ball of the series as Litton looked clueless.

After knocking over West Indies for a paltry 146, Bangladesh looked in a commanding position as they marched on towards a big lead. Their top order batters got off to a good start and the middle order also carried out the good work as the likes of Litton Das looked comfortable in the middle.

He was playing at 25 off 34 deliveries when disaster struck as Greaves decided to pull out his greatest trick. The pacer turned spinner as he bamboozled the Bangladesh batter with his off-break bowling.

The ball pitched outside the off and it turned back in sharply, the way spinners make the ball spin. Litton wasn't expecting it as he goes for a block and the ball sneaked past the big bat-pad gap to knock the stumps. The ball reminded fans of R Ashwin, who is known for his brilliant off-break deliveries.

Bangladesh in command Vs West Indies

Bangladesh themselves got bundled out for a mere 164, and the West Indian side was right on top. However, the Tigers roared back strongly as Nahid Rana, the promising pacer picked up 5 wickets for just 61 runs as the visitors came back with a knockout blow.

In reply, the Tigers are 193/5 at stumps on Day 3, and currently have a lead of 211 runs as they aim to extend it on Day 4.
