Edgbaston Test was memorable for Team India’s star fast bowler Mohammad Siraj. Indian Pacer, who has been criticized for his bowling in the first Test match against England, made a strong comeback in the second Test. This performance of Siraj brought Team India close to victory. Although Siraj could not do anything special on the last day of the match, but during this time something happened to him, due to which he went viral on social media. The reason for this is the umpire Caikat Shafududdaula, who threw the ball and she hit Siraj’s head.
On the last day of the Test match on Sunday 6 July at Edgbaston, England was chasing the target of 608 runs for victory. At the same time, Team India needed 7 wickets. Akash Deep wreaked his havoc and brought Team India closer to victory only to another session. Apart from batting and bowling, Team India also impressed with good fielding in this match. But when 8 wickets of England fell, KL Rahul left the catch in the slip off Ravindra Jadeja.
Ball on Siraj’s head
Everyone was disappointed by Rahul’s mistake, but during this time something happened that Siraj was shocked. In fact, as soon as the ball was returned to the umpire Saikat Sharafuddaula, he threw it towards the Indian Pesar Siraj. Siraj was very close to the umpire at that time. But Siraj could not catch it with it and then the ball started going directly on his head. As soon as Siraj got the ball, the umpire was also surprised and nervous. At the same time, Siraj also did not understand what happened. He started caressing his head, but then as soon as a smile came on his face, the umpire also breathed a sigh of relief. Photos and videos of this incident started trending on social media.
