On Day 2 in Brisbane, Mohammed Siraj survives injury scare
Mohammed Siraj faced an injury scare on Day 2 of the third Test against Australia at The Gabba, Brisbane, on December 15. While bowling his 11th over, Siraj appeared to be in discomfort after delivering the second ball, clutching his left knee and signaling for medical assistance. This prompted concern among Indian fans as he left the field mid-over, with Akash Deep stepping in to complete it
Fortunately, Siraj returned to the field just four overs later, much to the relief of supporters. He even showcased his fitness by diving to stop a boundary, flashing a smile at Travis Head. Earlier in the day, Siraj engaged in some playful banter with MarnusLabuschagne by flipping the bails at the striker’s end, which added to the competitive atmosphere on the pitch.
Meanwhile, JaspritBumrah shone brightly for India, taking crucial wickets early in the innings. He dismissed Usman Khawaja and Nathan McSweeney, leaving Australia at 104 for 3 at lunch. With Siraj’s health now under scrutiny, India will hope he can maintain his fitness for the remainder of the match as they aim to take control of this pivotal Test.
