Fans absolutely loved Siraj's candid imitation of his teammate's celebration. In the meanwhile, after scoring a hundred, Jadeja kissed his helmet and looked at the black armband, which the teams are wearing as a tribute to Shane Warne. The legend passed away on Friday.

It is to be noted that it was the legendary Aussie who nicknamed Jadeja "Rockstar". Thus, his knock was a fitting tribute to the spin king. As far as the total score is concerned, India have already scored over 500.

Jadeja looked solid at the crease and never looked in a mood to slow down. On the back of his knock, India posted a mammoth total of 574/8 before skipper Rohit Sharma declared the innings. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka have an uphill task in their hands now to save the Test.
