Siraj's Fiery Words Followed Jangoo's Close Shave
3 Oct
Summary
- Mohammed Siraj confronted Amir Jangoo after a close call on the pitch.
- Siraj's intimidating delivery narrowly missed Jangoo's stumps.
- The incident occurred during the Indian pacer's return to the ODI series.
Mohammed Siraj made his return to the Indian ODI squad, aiming to complete a series whitewash against the West Indies. During the recent match, Siraj's presence on the field led to an immediate on-field incident.
In the ninth over, Siraj bowled an aggressive delivery at Amir Jangoo, who was on strike. Jangoo attempted a cover drive off the 137.5kph ball. The delivery was close to the off stump, and Jangoo's shot resulted in an inside edge that narrowly deflected the ball past the stumps.
Had the ball struck the stumps, it would have been Siraj's second wicket of the innings, having already dismissed John Campbell. Despite surviving the near dismissal, Jangoo was on the receiving end of heated words from Siraj. This exchange created a notable moment of tension at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh PCA Stadium in New Chandigarh.
