Fans on Twitter lashed out at Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj for sledging Najmul Shanto and Zakir Hasan after he failed to take wickets in the second innings of the first Test against Bangladesh. They slammed the pacer for his gesture and said that he should avoid such things without any reason.
Mohammed Siraj sledges Najmul Shanto and Zakir Hasan after failing to get wickets
After a staggering first inning with the bowl, where he returned with the figures of 3/20, Mohammed Siraj wasn’t at his best in the second innings. Chasing the mammoth target of over 500 runs, Bangladesh had a staggering start as openers Zakir Hasan and Najmul Hossain Shanto made Indian bowlers look clueless and batted solidly at the top to put the visitors under pressure.
Both the openers batted with full control and went on to smash half-centuries. They stitched 124 runs for the opening partnership. Both the batters easily negotiated the tricky phase with the new ball and made Siraj and Umesh work hard.
After failing to make an impact, Siraj tried to sledge Shanto. It was during the 34th over when he the pacer gave the batter a stare and then a couple of deliveries later engaged with him in a verbal banter. The batter, however, didn’t seem interested and smiled at him.
The pacer, however, didn’t stop here as he then had a go at debutant Zakir Hasan, who also didn’t engage in the banter and batted with confidence.
Here’s the video:

Siraj glares at Shanto who prefers to look away. More words from Siraj and this time Shanto exchanges eye contact.
