A funny moment came up in the first session during the second day of play in the third India-Australia Test match going on at the Gabba in Brisbane. (Day 2 Blog | Full Coverage | More Cricket News)
Mohammed Siraj, who recently made headlines for an on-field spat with Travis Head, once again was in limelight on Sunday. The pacer once again gave it all trying to get a wicket and in the process did something that captured the attention of the Internet.
Earlier in the day, Jasprit Bumrah had dismissed both Australia openers to put the hosts in trouble. When Siraj came up to bowl in his first spell, Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith were trying to put up a partnership.
In the 33rd over of Australia's innings, Siraj came up with a plan to get his first wicket of the match. In his followthrough, Siraj kept jogging towards the Labuschagne who was on strike. After walking up to the stumps, Siraj just gently switched the bails and walked back.
Labuschagne kept a close eye on what Siraj was trying to do. As soon as Siraj turned to walk back to his bowling mark, the Australian instantly switched bails again to put them back as they were before Siraj's antics.
In the very next over, Labuschagne went for a cover drive and edged a Nitish Kumar Reddy delivery to the second slip in the safe hands of Virat Kohli. Siraj's trick seemed to have worked or at least he will think so.
In the previous match too, Siraj was in the news. The pacer exchanged a few words with Head after dismissing him. The incident led to Siraj being fined 20% of his match fee.
