Nicholas Pooran left Mohammed Siraj red-faced after the latter sledged the West Indies star during the ongoing game between Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
The incident took place in the 16th over when Mohammed Siraj was handed the ball to bowl to well-set Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran.

Marsh was batting 89 while Nicholas Pooran was unbeaten on 29 when Siraj came to bowl the final over of his spell.
The Indian star had bowled well in his first three overs, conceding just 17 runs. All of those overs were bowled during the powerplay, making his performance even more remarkable.
He opened the bowling for Gujarat Titans and gave away 8 runs. In his second and third over, Siraj gave away 4 and 5 runs respectively.

However, Siraj could not complete his quota on a good note as Marsh and Nicholas Pooran hit him for 20 runs. During the same over, the right-arm pacer also lost his cool and decided to sledge Pooran which eventually backfired.
It began after Pooran hit the third ball of the over for a four. The southpaw played a scoop shot to collect four runs. It was followed by a wide delivery before Siraj decided to sledge Pooran. After bowling the wide ball, Siraj walked up to Pooran and was seen saying something to the LSG star.

Pooran, on the other hand, did not respond and nonchalantly walked towards Marsh to have a chat. The umpires were also quick to intervene and bring the situation under control.
Siraj then bowled a dot delivery and had another go at Pooran before the latter decided to respond with his bat. On the last two deliveries of the over, the West Indies batsman hit Siraj for a six and a four to have the last laugh.
