Mohammed Siraj gave a huge sendoff to England opener Ben Duckett after taking his wicket early on Day 4 of the third Test between India and England at Lord’s on Sunday, July 13. Duckett departed for a run-a-ball 12 as the hosts lost their first wicket for 22 runs.
The dismissal came in the sixth over of England’s second innings. Siraj bowled a length ball around the fourth stump line, and Duckett went for a pull shot but was cramped for room. All he managed was a thick edge to Jasprit Bumrah at mid-on.
Following the scalp, Siraj looked pumped up and roared in the face of Duckett before giving him a shoulder tap. The umpires had a word with the speedster following his wild celebrations. The reaction came following a last-over drama by England openers before stumps on Day 3.
