Mohammed Siraj continues to get flogged around by English batters at Headingley in Leeds on Day 3 of the series-opening first Test. After leaking 50 runs off his first 14 overs of the innings on Day 2, the speedster conceded 50 additional runs off his next eight overs on Day 3 to bring up an unfortunate 100.

Feeling the full force of England’s ‘BazBall’, Siraj did deliver the prized scalp of home captain Ben Stokes at one stage, only to claim expensive figures of 1-100 from 22 overs by the time of England reaching 400.

“Literally A Burden On The Team…” Fans Troll Mohammed Siraj

Mohammed Siraj conceded 100 runs against English batters off just his first 22 overs, maintaining an expensive economy rate of nearly 4.50 runs an over. The speedster even had a moment of heated exchange with England’s ‘BazBall’ radical Harry Brook at one stage, only to concede 29 runs off his next 12 deliveries.

Siraj’s expensive outing prompted several Indian cricket fans to troll the fast bowler, with many of them blaming him for letting England off the hook after Jasprit Bumrah’s three-wicket blitz on Day 2. Some fans even made hilarious memes at the expense of the cricketer.
