India fast bowler Mohammed Siraj gave a death stare to KL Rahul for his poor fielding effort during the second Test between India and Bangladesh at Green Park, Kanpur. The incident happened in the 52nd over of the day on Day 4 of the Test match.

Siraj bowled a short-of-a-length ball on the body of Mominul Haque. The batter placed the ball behind square and it went past Rahul at deep backward square leg. KL Rahul did not give his best effort which left both captain Rohit Sharma and bowler Mohammed Siraj unhappy.

Siraj even gave a death stare to the fielder for not making a full effort. However, Rahul indicated that the ball was very wide of him and he couldn't do much.

In the next ball, Shubman Gill also committed a misfield at square leg to leave Siraj in more frustration. The fast bowler kept bowling tight lines and attacked both the sides of the bat.

Mohammed Siraj looked in good rhythm

Mohammed Siraj is one of the key players for India and vital component in India's fast bowling attack. Alongwith Jasprit Bumrah, he forms a deadly fast bowling duo.

Siraj picked up two wickets in the first match at Chennai and has picked up a solitary wicket in Kanpur so far. He got the big wicket of Litton Das as he was caught excellently Rohit Sharma at mid-off.

India's success depends a lot on the fast bowling pair. Over the years, Mohammed Siraj has delivered some sensational spells with the ball and is threatening when he is in rhythm.

India will hope to have him in good form ahead of the important Tests against New Zealand and Australia. After the Bangladesh series, India will play a three-match Test series against New Zealand at home and then travel to Australia for a five-match Test series.

Bangladesh lose three wickets in 1st session on Day 4

Meanwhile, the second Test at Kanpur has been badly affected by rain and wet outfield so far. Only 35 overs were possible on the first day when India won the toss and elected to field first.

Bangladesh scored 107-3 at stumps on Day 1. But the second and third day of the match were washed out due to excessive rain and wet outfield. The play started on time on Day 4 and Bangladesh resumed their innings.

Bangladesh were 205-6 at lunch on Day 4 with Mominul Haque and Mehidy Hasan Miraz at the crease. Mominul is looking good after his magnificent hundred and will hope for a good support from Bangladesh's tailenders.

It will be a difficult task to force a result with just two days remaining but India will try its best to clean-sweep the series. India won the first Test at Chennai by 280 runs.
