In a hilarious moment that unfolded on Day 1 of the second Test between India and Australia, Mohammed Siraj’s delivery to Marnus Labuschagne was measured at 181.6 km/h on the speed gun, attracting a humorous response on the internet. The speed gun was definitely faulty, but fans used the screenshots to make hilarious memes on the internet.

Day 1 of the second pink ball Test between India and Australia was dominated by the latter as they not only bowled out India for 180 runs but finished with 86/1 at the stumps. Indian bowlers toiled hard in the final session but could manage to clip only a single wicket of Usman Khawaja.

That being said, during the 25th over of the second inning, a strange moment was caught on the camera. Mohammed Siraj was bowling to Marnus Labuschagne, and the final delivery was measured at 181.6 km/h. The unrealistic number caught the fans’ eye as they pointed out the potential mistake. 

However, the strange moment attracted a meme feast as many jokingly hailed Siraj for breaking the world record of the fastest delivery bowled in international cricket. 





Meanwhile, Mohammed Siraj went wicketless on Day 1 of the pink ball Test. He struggled massively as Labuschagne and Nathan McSweeney took him on to score easy boundaries. At stumps, Australia finished at 86/1 with 94 runs left to cover. Notably, Australia has a 100% win record in pink-ball Tests hosted at the Adelaide Oval. Hence, a comeback is tedious for the Indian cricket team.
