India vs England’s 2^nd Test is tilting majorly in favor of India. England are chasing a mammoth total of 482 in Chennai on a dry and dusty pitch. The bounce is uneven, the spin cannot be guessed and to play on such a pitch is extremely difficult for the batsmen. But such a big target was only possible because of R Ashwin’s century in the second Indian innings which took the score to 286.

Ashwin was supported by Siraj for a last-wicket partnership of 49 runs. Siraj was at the non-striker’s end when Ashwin hit the century shot and his reaction after that was priceless. Mohammed Siraj punched in the air when Ashwin reached the three figure milestone, only the third time in his entire career. Watch the video of Siraj’s reaction below:

Many international cricketers and celebrities pointed out this incident and lauded Siraj for his celebration. Dinesh Karthik wrote: “As much as I enjoyed Ashwin’s knock, I loved Sirajs beaming smile,fist pumps and celebrations when @ashwinravi99 got to his 100. Here is a man who puts others before self. I hope that character trait is backed as much as much as every other skill set he possesses #absolutegem”

This kind of camaraderie amongst players is extremely important from a team’s point of view. Siraj has set an example for the team.
