Mohammed Siraj Breaks Silence After Horror Lord's Day: 'Some Matches...'
India fast-bowler Mohammed Siraj, who was on the wrong side of an unfortunate match-losing wicket in the Lord's Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy on Monday (July 14), has finally spoken about it. He posted four pictures via his Instagram profile, including his best moments from the Test, and the final one of despair when he was sitting down on the pitch after getting bowled by spinner Shoaib Bashir. Siraj had batted brilliantly for 29 balls and over 13 overs, offering more than the expected support from a number 11 with a solid defensive technique. He went back and pushed Bashir's ball down, too, but it dropped near the stumps and rolled to its base and toppled off the bails. It ended India's chase of 193, which was brought to this dire position after the middle-order collapsed in the first session, to cement a 22-run defeat.
