Watch: Siraj wins hearts for jubilant reaction to Ashwin hundred

by Wisden Staff 2 minute read

India’s Ravichandran Ashwin was able to enjoy a special moment with the bat on day three of the second Test with England as he celebrated his fifth Test century.

Batting in his home city of Chennai, the off-spinning all-rounder went to three figures off the bowling of Moeen Ali, sparking plenty of joy in the crowd but also at the other end.

His teammate Mohammed Siraj – the last man in India’s batting line-up – appeared ecstatic too, having entered the fray when Ashwin was still 18 runs away from a century.

Watch the moment and Siraj’s celebration here:
