Murali Vijay scored his 11th Test century and second of the series in the third Test against Sri Lanka at the Feroz Shah Kotla stadium on Saturday. The opener enthralled the Delhi crowd as he decided to do a little jig after getting to his century.

Indian skipper Virat Kohli, who was at the non-striker's end, also joined in the fun as the two batsmen celebrated Vijay's century by doing a handshke with the 'dab celebration'.

It's not the first time Team India has celebrated in such fashion. Pujara and Vijay had done the same during India's fielding in the second Test against Sri Lanka.
