Gautam Gambhir's Priceless Reaction As Ravichandran Ashwin Slams Bangladesh Star Pacer For Boundary

India's Ravichandran Ashwin was at his best on the opening day of the Chennai Test against Bangladesh. Coming in to bat when India were 144 for 6, Ashwin joined hands with Ravindra Jadeja and bailed India out of trouble. The duo stitched an unbeaten 195-run partnership for the 7th wicket to put the hosts in a dominating position by the end of play at MA Chidambaram Stadium on Thursday. Both Ashwin and Jadeja played beautifully with the right-handed all-rounder racing to his century in 108 balls.

During his knock, Ashwin slammed 10 fours and two sixes as the Bangladesh bowlers were simply helpless in the last session of play on Day 1. One shot from Ashwin during his sensational knock even drew a priceless reaction from head coach Gautam Gambhir, who usually maintains a straight face.

On the final ball of the 44th over, star Bangladesh pacer Nahid Rana bowled a short ball outside off stump and Ashwin cut it away for a four through the sweeper cover. Gambhir was left mighty impressed with the shot and the picture of his reaction is going viral on social media.

"Always a special feeling to play in front of the home crowd. This is a ground I completely love to play cricket in. It's given me a lot of wonderful memories," said Ashwin after remaining unbeaten at 102 at the end of play on Day 1.

"He (Jadeja) was of real help, there was a point in time where I was really sweating and getting a bit tired, Jaddu noticed it quickly and guided me through that phase. Jaddu has been one of our best batters for our team
