Team India are playing against the Australian cricket team in the second Test match at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Australia’s skipper Pat Cummins won the toss and chose to open the face of the blade first.

Australia were bundled out for 263 in the first innings. They started the innings decently well in the form of David Warner and Usman Khawaja as the duo added a fifty partnership for the opening wicket before things started to collapse for the visitors.

Usman Khawaja and Peter Handscomb were the star performers for Australia. While Khawaja scored 81 runs including 12 fours and a six, Handscomb remained unbeaten on 72 runs including nine boundaries.

Ravichandran Ashwin hogged the limelight after he was involved in a bizarre celebration after Mohammed Shami got rid of Nathan Lyon in the ongoing second Test match in Delhi.

Mohammed Shami was the pick of the bowlers for Team India in the first innings. The right-arm paceman accounted for four dismissals as he got rid of David Warner, Travis Head, Nathan Lyon and Matthew Kuhnemann.

When Nathan Lyon came out to bat, he smashed two boundaries during his stay at the crease where he scored 10 runs before falling prey to Shami’s delivery. Shami made a total mess of Lyon’s stumps.

When Shami was celebrating the dismissal with his players, Ravi Ashwin twisted the pacer’s eyes from behind. The right-arm paceman didn’t even expect this in the first place and was literally shocked.

Meanwhile, Sunil Gavaskar who witnessed the incident stated that if one asks Ashwin about this incident later, then he would that he was practising another kind of delivery.

Gavaskar’s hilarious remarks went viral on the internet in no time. Meanwhile, Ravi Ashwin accounted for three dismissals whereas Ravindra Jadeja also took three wickets.
