Mohammed Siraj made a strong start in India’s warm-up match against the Australian Prime Minister’s XI on Sunday. The match was delayed due to rain, but once the weather cleared up, the game began in Canberra.
Siraj, who has been doing great for India lately, started bowling before Jasprit Bumrah. His bowling was impressive right from the beginning, putting pressure on the Australian openers with his fast deliveries.
One funny moment happened when a security guard accidentally blocked Siraj’s view while he was ready to bowl. Siraj, feeling frustrated, jokingly asked the guard in Hindi, “Hey brother, are you wandering in a garden?” This line reminded everyone of a famous quote by Indian captain Rohit Sharma from a previous situation.
Despite the distraction, Siraj quickly refocused and soon took the important wicket of Matt Renshaw, who scored just five runs. Siraj’s powerful and disciplined bowling helped India start strong, as they prepare for the upcoming pink-ball Test against Australia. The warm-up match is being played in a 50 overs-per-side format. India chose to field first after winning the toss.
