Mohammed Siraj decided to remind the English supporters of the scoreline as they shouted at him from the stands during the England vs India Leeds test match
From wiping the floor with England at Lord’s to being thrown out of the window themselves, the last week has been one of varying fortunes for the Indian team. Despite being buoyed ahead of the Headingley test match, the Indian team failed to capitalise as it faltered and folded like a house of cards.
As Virat Kohli for once won a toss, the Indian captain decided to step out and bat first on the day. It was a decision which ended up leaving the Indians with mud in their face as the side was blown apart by an English bowling unit devoid of the services of Jofra Archer, Stuart Broad and Mark Wood.
Mohammed Siraj Gives English Supporters Reminder Of India’s Lead In The England vs India 2021 Series
Folding out for a paltry 78, a massive blemish in Indian folklore, the side failed to endure any better luck with the ball as well. The hosts managed to cross the 100 run mark on day one with all their wickets intact owing to some shambolic wayward bowling by the Indian speedsters.
Regaling in their team’s dominance on the day, the English supporters decided to give an earful to Mohammed Siraj who was fielding at the boundary. However, Siraj decided to give it back as he made the 1-0 sign towards the home crowd, a gesture which was symbolic of the lead India held in the series currently.
