The first Test between India and England is being played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. India ended their first innings at the score of 436 runs on day 2 of the Test match. 

On both days of the Test match, the Indian team received huge support from the crowd. The fans constantly cheered throughout the two days' play. Notably, Mohammed Siraj is playing at his home ground in Hyderabad and the Indian seamer also received a round cheer of applause when he came on to bowl. 

He was the last one in the five-bowler attack to come and roll his arms. With the spinners getting a lot of help from the surface, Siraj wasn’t used a lot by the captain in both innings. 

In the first innings, he only bowled four overs. England have batted 77 overs thus far in their second innings but Siraj bowled only three overs. Despite that, the fans wouldn’t stop cheering him when he came on to bowl. 

Much to the delight, RCB Army was also present at the stadium and cheered for ‘MIYAN’ during his spell. The franchise also took to its Twitter handle to share the video clip.
