And that’s what you don’t want to see as an Indian cricket fan—India pacer Mohammed Siraj was seen struggling while bowling on Day 2 of the IND vs AUS 3rd Test, which eventually forced him to leave the field. The 30-year-old was spotted holding the back of his knee midway through his eleventh over of the innings, and after consulting with the physio, he left the field. His over was completed by Akash Deep.
Before the niggle, which is currently gaining attention, Siraj was troubling the Australian batters and almost dismissed Steve Smith but couldn’t capitalize on the opportunity. Fans are now trolling Indian captain Rohit Sharma for overusing Siraj despite having options like Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep. Siraj had been consistently bowling from one end.
Earlier, India had a strong start to Day 2, with Jasprit Bumrah giving India the perfect opening by removing both Australian openers in his first spell. See how fans are reacting to Siraj’s injury.
