Mohammed Siraj suffers hilarious wardrobe malfunction, loses trousers in India vs Australia 2nd ODI

Team India fast bowler Mohammed Siraj gave fans an unexpected moment of laughter during the second of the three-match ODI series against Australia at the Adelaide Oval on Thursday, October 23. Siraj accidentally lost his pants while fielding at the boundary line, leaving commentators and fans in splits.

Earlier, opener Rohit Sharma and vice-captain Shreyas Iyer scored half-centuries as Shubman Gill's side posted a total of 264/9 in their allotted 50 overs.

Mohammed Siraj Drops a Dolly off Matthew Short off Washington Sundar’s Bowling

Earlier in the match, Mohammed Siraj missed a crucial chance to dismiss Matthew Short. Short, well-set on 53, played a cross-batted drive through the covers that ended up at backward point. The ball went straight into Siraj’s hands, but he failed to hold on. At that stage, Australia was 139/4 in their chase.

Siraj made up for his mistake on the final ball of the 36th over. Harshit Rana bowled a short delivery that Short attempted to attack, and Siraj completed the catch. Short had to walk back to the dressing room for 74 off 78 balls, including four boundaries and two sixes.

India managed to remove the set batter, but Short had already contributed important runs to Australia’s total, putting the hosts in a good position at 187/5 during the run chase.
