Watch: R Ashwin celebrates his Chennai century in style as Mohammed Siraj joins in

Ashwin Ravichandran scoring a Test century at Chepauk – his home ground – and on a pitch that was terribly difficult for batting was something special.

Throughout the knock in the second innings of the second Test, as Ashwin slowly edged closer to the three-figure mark, the dressing room cheered on every run just like the newly-returned fans in the stands. But what took the cake was the way Mohammad Siraj, the number eleven batsman at the non-striker’s end, celebrated when Ashwin reached his century.

Punching the air in ecstasy, Siraj rejoiced as if the century was his own. It was a heart-warming moment for Indian cricket fans to see a player express so much joy for a teammate’s achievement.
