After the opening day of the ongoing third Test between Australia and India was washed out, Day 2 brought sunshine for both the players and fans, but Mohammed Siraj yet again hit the headlines, although this time because of the injury at The Gabba.

Actually, the Indian cricket team faced a big setback on Sunday morning when Mohammed Siraj had to leave the field midway through his over. After bowling the second ball of the 37th over, Siraj was looking in discomfort with his left knee or hamstring.

The Indian pacer seemed to realize it right after bowling the previous ball, but he tried stretching it but eventually called for the physio and walked back to the Indian dressing room. It is being said that it was the right-arm pacer’s left hamstring that forced him to leave the field in pain.

Mohammed Siraj was in the middle of his 11th over when he sustained the injury in the ongoing third Test against Australia at The Gabba in Brisbane. After delivering the first two balls, the star started stretching his left leg and looked emotional with the physio coming out to check on him.

Following a brief examination, the Indian team's physio guided Siraj back to the dressing room, and Akash Deep stepped in to finish the over. However, Siraj returned to the field after the 40th over, but it left the Indian fans worried, as it could have been the biggest setback for India in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 in Australia.

Here's how fans reacted to injury scare to Siraj at The Gabba:

Earlier, a funny moment caught everyone’s attention when Mohammad Siraj walked up to Australian batter Marnus Labuschagne and switched the bails at his end on Day 2 of the ongoing Gabba Test. This happened during the 33rd over of the innings after Siraj had just bowled a delivery.

Labuschagne initially thought Siraj was coming to have a chat, but the pacer had something else in mind. After Siraj returned to the bowler’s end, Labuschagne decided to switch the bails back. The playful exchange brought loud cheers and laughter from the crowd in Brisbane.

Meanwhile, on Day 2, Jasprit Bumrah gave India a strong start by removing both Australian openers early. Usman Khawaja, the left-hander, was caught behind after scoring 21, while Nathan McSweeney was dismissed for just 9 in Brisbane.

Later, Nitish Kumar Reddy dismissed Labuschagne for 12. The day began as planned with favorable weather, creating a perfect setup for an exciting battle between India and Australia at The Gabba. However, Steve Smith and Travis Head are becoming big threats to the Indian team.

Smith and Head both are looking solid and batting at 30+, putting pressure on Indian bowlers after the break in the ongoing third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 at The Gabba, Brisbane.
