Watch: Ravichandran Ashwin's Beautiful Moment With Rohit Sharma Amid 100th Test Guard Of Honour

Celebrating the landmark moment for Ravichandran Ashwin, the Indian cricket team players decided to give the veteran off-spinner a guard of honour as he walked out on the Dharamsala ground to feature in a Test match for the 100th time. The moment of reckoning came for Ashwin as India took on England in the 5th and final Test of the series on Thursday. As players lined up in two rows for Ashwin's guard of honour, the spinner went to skipper Rohit Sharma and gave him a hug.

Ashwin, one of the finest players of his generation, also had his wife Prithi and two daughters present at the venue for the landmark occasion. Before the start of the match, head coach Rahul Dravid presented Ashwin with a special 100th Test cap.
