Team India’s star fast bowler Mohammad Siraj is always seen bowling with full enthusiasm and passion. His passion is liked by the fans and also provides help to Team India. But sometimes Siraj also makes mistakes in excitement and crosses some limits. Something similar happened in Lord’s Test against England, where the Indian fast bowler took the team success with a wicket but took trouble for himself.
Success to Team India
All this happened on the fourth day of the Lord’s Test, when England’s second innings was going on. England openers Jack Croly and Ben Docket were batting and the first session game started. Siraj was bowling and an appeal from LBW was rejected by the umpire. During this time, on the insistence of Siraj, Team India had also taken DRS and that too turned out to be bad.
In such a situation, Siraj was also angry with himself and was desperate to take wickets in any case. He did not have to wait much for this and the Indian pace made his left -handed batsman Ben Docket his victim. As soon as Jasprit Bumrah caught a catch at mid on, Siraj started running in zeal and reached close to the docket. It is here that Siraj came close to Duck’s face and screamed loudly and then his shoulder collided with the English batsman.
Siraj got stuck in trouble, will get punishment!
Just here, the Indian pacer made a mistake. He did well by giving success to Team India but got his loss done. In fact, for international cricket, a strict code of conduct has been created by the ICC, ie Code of Conduct, in which their behavior is monitored. A rule of this says that no player can make an aggressive gesture after taking wickets to the batsman. The player who does so can be fined or can be given a demerit point or may be both.
But even more strict rules are about physical contact. That is, no player can touch the player of another team in an aggressive manner. In this case, Siraj and Dock’s shoulders collided. In such a case, the player is considered guilty, whose action happens and the Indian pace here deliberately went to Docket. The match fee of the player who does this is deducted and the demerit point is also added to his account.
