Watch: India vs Australia - Ravichandran Ashwin Leaves Mohammed Shami Surprised With Bizarre Celebration

Ravichandran Ashwin made the headlines once again during Day 1 of the second Test match between India and Australia in New Delhi but this time, it was because of a bizarre celebration. Mohammed Shami dismissed Nathan Lyon for 10 and as the Indian cricketers celebrated, Ashwin twisted Shami's ears. Shami was caught off guard by the action, but the duo shared a laugh afterwards. Even India legend Sunil Gavaskar joined in the fun as he said on the commentary - “I think if you ask Ashwin a bit later, he will say that he was practicing another kind of delivery.”

The highlight on Friday was KL Rahul's brilliant catch at point off a powerful reverse sweep by Khawaja. That athletic effort not just broke the 59-run sixth-wicket partnership between Khawaja and Handscomb and also
