Not the news that the India Cricket Team fans were expecting. Ace Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj has walked off injured. While bowling his 7th over, Siraj experienced pain in his lower hamstring and left knee. The physio was brought in, but nothing was done. After that, Siraj walked away from the ground. For the visitors, it is a huge blow. India would be desperately hoping Siraj’s injury is nothing too serious.
Mohammed Siraj knew something was not right after bowling the 2nd ball of the over. He immediately went on to stretch it out, but the problem remained. While going up to his bowling mark, Siraj clutched his left knee trying to understand from where the pain was exuberating.
India’s concern increases as Siraj walks off Injured
At his bowling mark, Siraj immediately called on the physio. But in what looks like a hamstring injury, the ace Indian pacer had to walk off from the ground with anguish and grimace on his face. Now India needs all their pacers up and firing and losing Siraj can be a massive blow for the visitors.
Akash Deep came on to complete the over and now he along with Nitish Kumar Reddy will have to step up and side with Bumrah to lead the pace attack.
India will be hoping that Mohammed Siraj’s injury is nothing too major. The fans will be hoping that Siraj can make a quick comeback to the pitch and resume his bowling action. India would desperately need all their pacers to fire as they seek a comeback in the Border Gavaskar Trophy.
