However, Captain Oli Pope was trying to establish eyes at the crease and scored 22 runs. But then Mohammad Siraj’s hand, the magical ball blew the Pope’s senses. After falling on the wicket, the ball cut such that the English captain only kept looking at the bowler’s face.
The 5th ball of the 25th over thrown by Siraj fell on the first off -instp and then turned inwards, turning inwards. Oli Pope completely failed to understand this ball and the ball came on his pad. Siraj and Team India made a strong appeal, but the on -field umpire called him notout. After a lot of conversation, captain Shubman Gill took a review in the last one second. This review worked for Team India and the ball went and appeared on the middle stump. The on -field umpire had to change his decision and the Pope started scoring 22 runs.
Mohammad Siraj has completed 200 wickets in international cricket along with dismissing Oli Pope. Siraj has taken the maximum 115 wickets in Test cricket. At the same time, he has 71 wickets in ODIs and 14 wickets in T20.
