On Friday, July 11, Mohammed Siraj performed an important role for India on Day 2 of the third Test at Lord’s Cricket Ground, London. The seasoned seamer provided valuable support to Jasprit Bumrah, who recorded his first five-for at the Home of Cricket.
Siraj, who went wicketless on the first day, claimed the wickets of Jamie Smith and Brydon Carse on Day 2. After dismissing Smith, who was caught by wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel after scoring 51 off 56 balls, Siraj spun around and made the No. 20 symbol with his fingers. The speedster paid a touching tribute to Liverpool footballer Diogo Jota, who died on July 3 in a terrible vehicle accident in Spain. His brother, Andre Silva, also died in the tragedy when their Lamborghini went off the road and caught fire. Jota wore the number 20 jersey during his stint at Liverpool.
Since the announcement of their deaths, several footballers have paid respect to them during games. Siraj, who frequently performs Cristiano Ronaldo’s famed “Siu” celebration after scooping up wickets, opted to pay tribute to Jota and his brother on Friday.

India bowled out England for 387 in 112.3 overs. Apart from Bumrah and Siraj, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Ravindra Jadeja were also among the wickets. While the seam-bowling all-rounder dismissed the England openers, the veteran spin-bowling all-rounder got rid of Ollie Pope.
In their first innings, India lost the wicket of Yashasvi Jaiswal early, after the southpaw hit three boundaries in eight balls. Karun Nair showed a lot of grit and determination before being caught brilliantly by Root off the bowling of Ben Stokes. The right-handed batter made 40 off 62 balls. India lost their second wicket after 74 runs were added to their total.
